Job Description:

Remitly's vision is to transform lives with trusted financial services that transcend borders. Since 2011, we have been tirelessly delivering on our promises to people who send money around the world. Today, we are reimagining global financial services and building products that extend beyond traditional barriers to give customers access to more of the services they need, no matter where they call home. Join over 2,700 employees worldwide who are growing their careers with purpose and connection with our customers while having a positive impact on millions of people around the globe.

About the Role:

Remitly is looking for an Investigation Specialist II to play a critical role in shaping and scaling our fraud and scam prevention programs. In this role, you'll go beyond surface-level signals — diving deep into complex data patterns, fraud MOs, and emerging scam behaviors across products, platforms, and geographies.

You'll work alongside a high-performing team of fraud and scam specialists, collaborating closely with partners in product, engineering, analytics, and compliance. Your investigations and insights will directly inform the strategies that protect our customers and strengthen our global risk detection and prevention capabilities. You will report directly to the Senior Manager, Identity and Trust Investigations within the Fraud Program Team. This role is eligible for hybrid working.

You Will:

  • Lead deep-dive investigations into fraud and scam activity, identifying trends, root causes, and emerging threats.
  • Provide actionable intelligence that improves fraud rules, models, and operational processes.
  • Write and tune fraud rules to prevent scaling fraud activity
  • Contribute to program strategy by proactively identifying gaps, proposing improvements, and informing roadmap priorities.
  • Support incident response efforts during high-impact fraud events.
  • Help operationalize scalable investigative frameworks and contribute to global process improvements.
  • Use basic SQL skills and data visualization to analyze large datasets
  • Promote data-driven decision-making by delivering recommendations across multiple departments in risk prevention
  • Lead projects and provide support on various risk initiatives such as diving deep on scam patterns, performing QAs, reviewing SOPs, or collecting insight from external resources

You Have:

  • Bachelor's degree, financial crimes related certifications (CFE, CFCS, etc.) or equivalent experience
  • 2+ years of experience in fraud prevention within the payments, banking, or technology domain
  • Investigation and data analysis skills
  • Comfortable handling, analyzing, and manipulating large data for risk analysis
  • Proficient in Excel (can perform complex functions) and Google Workspace
  • Understanding of common fraud (account takeover, stolen information, etc.) and scam (elder abuse, romance scams, etc.) typologies
  • Comfortability working with team members in different locations and timezones.
  • Occasionally, you will be asked to provide your support during non-business hours when we are experiencing an acute attack. This role is exempt from overtime pay.
  • Basic SQL experience is preferred

Compensation Details. The starting base salary range for this position is $65,000 - $75,000. In Canada, Remitly employees are shareholders in our Company and equity is part of our total compensation plan. Your recruiter can share more information about medical benefits offered, as well as other financial benefits and total compensation components offered with this role. #LI-Hybrid
