About the team

Abuse Operations is the front-line incident response and remediation function handling active product abuse and fraud impacting Stripe and its merchants. This multi-disciplinary group, spanning Incident Managers, Investigators, Forward Deployed Security Engineers, and Data Scientists, neutralizes active attacks, gathers requirements for operational tooling, and leads incidents. The team works directly with impacted merchants to resolve incidents and policy abuse rapidly. Operating primarily across Eastern, Pacific and Western European time zones, these team members regularly coordinate with global stakeholders across the world.

What you’ll do

In this role, you will play a critical part in safeguarding our financial ecosystem through two main pillars: actively responding to live fraud and abuse incidents as a hands-on security engineer, and serving as a key bridge between incidents and merchants to help them remediate threats, improve security posture, and protect their accounts. Leveraging your technical depth in fraud, abuse, and security engineering, you will investigate high-risk accounts, perform post-incident analyses, gather operational requirements, and drive agentic response capabilities ensuring we neutralize threats with speed and precision while elevating Stripe's product integrity function.

Responsibilities

• Respond to live fraud and abuse incidents as a Forward Deployed Security Engineer, investigating high-risk activity, neutralizing active attacks, and mitigating security risks across the ecosystem.
• Investigate, mitigate, and remediate urgent fraud incidents (e.g., ATO, card testing), utilizing FT3-mapped (Fraud Taxonomy 3.0) detection and signals enrichment to reduce uncertainty and accelerate response.
• As part of incidents, analyze high-risk accounts to identify fraudulent merchants, card testing, account takeovers, and other fraud vectors, classifying them using FT3 to standardize threat intelligence.
• Develop, document, and execute incident response strategies, runbooks, and capabilities to continuously improve fraud and abuse detection and prevention.
