Job Title: Fraud Countermeasure Team Lead (Fraud Platform)
Location: Tallinn
Departments: Fraud Countermeasure
In Veriff’s Fraud Platform team, we’re tackling the online fraud challenge in a scalable way — deploying excellence to stay ahead of attackers and protect trust online. It’s a dynamic, high-stakes space where speed, precision, and innovation matter every day.
We’re on the lookout for exceptional talent to join as a Fraud Countermeasure Team Lead — a role driving the tactical defense layer of Veriff’s Fraud Platform. By fusing threat intelligence, behavioral analytics, and real-time signals, the Countermeasures team uncovers new attack patterns, prioritizes them by business impact, and ships detection logic that blocks fraud within hours. You’ll manage a team of fraud experts, own the attack-backlog roadmap, and ensure every countermeasure maximizes protection while preserving user experience, speed, and trust.
You’ll help us protect honest people online by:
- Leading, growing, and developing a Fraud Countermeasures team that ships high-impact fraud rules at pace by nurturing a culture of accountability, experimentation, and cross-functional collaboration.
- Translating raw threat intel into a focused detection strategy and aligning the team’s backlog with the Fraud Platform’s north-star metrics.
- Owning end-to-end delivery—planning sprints, removing blockers, and helping the team ship countermeasures in hours, not weeks, while communicating crisp updates to executives and the wider company.
- Championing tooling and process upgrades—automating intel ingestion, detection testing, and rule deployment—to ensure the team scales faster than the fraud landscape.
- Partnering with product, data science, and engineering stakeholders to craft a long-term vision for proactive detection and inspiring the team to pursue it independently.
- Contributing to Veriff’s global fraud risk posture reinforcement.
- Fostering a red-team mindset: treating every missed fraud case as a controlled breach and driving cross-functional squads to hunt, replicate, and shut down attacks faster than they can scale.
- Supporting career growth, feedback culture, and skill development in alignment with our internal product management principles.
We are the preferred identity verification platform partner for the world’s most innovative growth-driven organizations helping conveniently verify and safeguard users anywhere in the world.
