Senior Data Analyst, Risk

Role Description

As a Senior Data Analyst, Risk at Binance.US, you will be the data engine behind how we understand and reduce financial loss. You will own the analysis of payment and chargeback data end to end, digging into what actually drives net loss and turning that into changes that ship. This is a hands-on, high-impact role.

Core Responsibilities

• Own the analysis of user lifecycle on-platform activities from on-ramp payment (ACH/Card related), trading, to withdrawal end to end: understand what drives anomalies and net loss, surface the levers to mitigate.
• Deep-dive into fraud cases and user profiles to quantify exposure, design and backtest strategies/models to manage exposures.
• Design and analyze A/B experiments to measure the impact of risk rule and process changes on loss, pass rate, and customer friction.
• Leverage ML techniques to surface patterns in fraud and loss data that manual analysis would miss.
• Break down net loss by driver (fraud type, payment method, user segment) and track it as a core monitoring metric.
• Build and maintain dashboards and monitoring for all essential Risk & Compliance payment metrics, with clear alerting when trends move.
• Partner closely with Risk, Payments, and Product teams to turn analysis into shipped changes.
