Role description

We are looking for an intern who will test, document, and visualize these flows – not to design or implement solutions, but to provide a clear, objective view of where our biggest vulnerabilities and blind spots are today.

This role provides a determined contract of 6 months, a working schedule of 6 hours/day and a hybrid way of working with an onsite presence of 2 days/week.

• Build clear visualizations (e.g. swimlane diagrams, system/data flow diagrams, risk heatmaps).

• Work closely with Fraud Analytics, Marketing/Fraud, Partnerships, Product, and IAM.

Important: This role is not about designing new fraud controls or running operations. It is about testing what exists, exposing vulnerabilities, and creating clarity so product and fraud teams can act.

Role Qualifications and Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree or currently enrolled in a Bachelor’s or Master’s program (e.g. Data/Business Analytics, Information Systems, Security/Risk, Economics, or similar).

• Strong analytical skills and high attention to detail; comfortable working with complex systems and edge cases.

• Ability to document processes clearly and create clean visualizations (e.g. Miro, Lucidchart, draw.io, Figma, or similar).

• Basic familiarity with data analysis (e.g. SQL, Excel; Python or R is a plus) to understand dashboards and simple extracts.

• Genuine interest in fraud, online platforms, or partner/marketing ecosystems.

• Strong communication skills in English; able to ask precise questions and summarize findings concisely.
