Fraud Investigation Specialist
This isn’t your regular job. Almedia is a place where those who want to push harder can accelerate their careers faster than anywhere else. We’re aiming to become Germany’s second bootstrapped unicorn. Almedia is already Europe’s #3 fastest-growing company in 2025 (FT1000).
We are building the future of marketing by rewarding our community of over 70 million users for engaging with our advertisers’ products. We are offering a new way to acquire users for the biggest companies in the world.
We are seeking a highly analytical, proactive, and technically skilled Fraud Investigation Specialist to join our team. In this evolved role, you will move beyond traditional fraud monitoring into a more intelligence-driven and project-focused function. You will actively identify system vulnerabilities, uncover emerging fraud patterns, and lead end-to-end investigations with a strong sense of ownership. Working closely with Data, Product, Engineering, and Account Management teams, you will strengthen our fraud prevention framework while proactively reducing risk exposure.
What You’ll Do 🎯
Proactively identify fraud risks by analyzing transactional, behavioral, and system-level data — not just reacting to alerts, but actively scoping out threats.
Conduct end-to-end fraud investigations, owning cases from initial detection through resolution and prevention design.
Perform vulnerability assessments and support penetration testing efforts to identify system weaknesses fraudsters could exploit.
Use SQL to extract, manipulate, and analyze large datasets to uncover hidden fraud patterns and anomalies.
Gather intelligence from multiple internal and external sources to anticipate emerging fraud tactics.
Design, implement, and optimize fraud detection and monitoring systems in close collaboration with Data, Product, Engineering, and Account Management to strengthen controls and close security gaps.
What Makes You a Great Fit 🌟
You think like an attacker but act as a defender — anticipating vulnerabilities before they are exploited.
You are highly self-reliant and proactive, capable of driving investigations independently without waiting for direction.
You have a strong project ownership mentality, approaching problems from multiple angles until fully resolved.
You thrive in fast-changing environments and are comfortable navigating ambiguity.
You combine analytical rigor with strategic thinking, focusing not only on solving individual cases but strengthening overall systems.
What You’ll Bring 💡
3+ years of experience in Fraud Analysis, Security Operations, Intelligence, Cybersecurity, or a related field.
Strong proficiency in SQL and data analysis; ability to work with large datasets and uncover meaningful insights.
Experience with vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, or security risk analysis.
Demonstrated ability to conduct end-to-end investigations and projects independently.
Intelligence-gathering mindset — ability to synthesize information from multiple sources to identify emerging threats.
Experience with Python or similar scripting languages for analysis or automation is a strong plus.
