Riskified jobs, judged for you, free

What they do

Riskified protects online merchants from fraud and from chargebacks. A chargeback is a payment that a card holder disputes and the bank takes back. Its AI platform looks at the person behind each order and gives a decision in real time. It also fights abuse of return and refund policies. Customers include Acer, Gucci, and GoPro.

What they value

• A collaborative work setting with great people.
• End-to-end ownership: every team member is empowered and accountable.
• High standards, ambitious goals, and the will to try new things.
• Collaboration and innovative thinking.
• Use of AI tools to work faster and better.

Where they hire

Most roles are in Tel Aviv, Lisbon, and New York. Other roles are in São Paulo, Melbourne, Shanghai, Tokyo, and Mexico City. The Tel Aviv, Lisbon, and New York teams work in a hybrid of remote and office work. No posting is fully remote. Two New York integration roles need US work authorization without visa sponsorship.
