Fraud Analyst

Vacancy - Fraud Analyst

As a fraud analyst in the DetACT department, you will help financial institutions combat fraud. You search for suspicious anomalies in network traffic, set up monitoring processes, and develop rules to detect fraud attempts automatically.

We are looking for a fraud analyst to join the DetACT team.
Every day, customers face financial criminal activities via their online channels. The DetACT application enables customers to view everything in real time: incidents, sessions, trends, anomalies, attacks, and threats.

You are the ideal candidate if you are analytical and enjoy tackling complex problems. You are accurate, detail-oriented, and able to work precisely while keeping an eye on the bigger picture. You have programming experience, experience with data analysis, and familiarity with HTTP traffic is a definite advantage. Ambition is very important to us. You’ll fit right in with curious, driven colleagues, and your professional development will be well supported

What do we ask of you?

The DetACT application is designed to recognise traces of criminal activity (e.g., phishing, malware, helpdesk fraud) in large volumes of network traffic at banks. As a fraud analyst, you will analyse network traffic related to (potential) fraud cases and suspicious transactions. You will connect all available information and technical possibilities. After the analysis and based on the anomalies in the network traffic, you will define rules that enable the system to recognise future fraud attempts.

You will work in an enthusiastic and driven team of analysts with a shared passion for stopping criminals. You’re not afraid to engage in discussions about the best ways to prevent fraud and get the most out of the system. Initiative is highly appreciated, and you’re not afraid to ask questions.

You’ll also be in regular contact with customers to keep them updated on your findings and provide insights into current and emerging threats. A key part of our value lies in offering excellent customer guidance.

• You have an IT degree (e.g., Computer Science) or relevant experience;
• You are analytical and have an eye for patterns and details;
• You have experience with various programming languages, techniques, and tools;
• You have a crime-fighting spirit;
