What you will be doing
- Product Safety: We believe that great products are simple to understand and use. You'll evaluate patterns and accounts in our ecosystem to ensure that our platform maintains a safe environment for all our customers.
- Iterative and skeptical: We practice a dynamic yet data-driven approach to everything we do. We may believe a process or policy is correct today, but with new information quickly change our mind. As a Risk Analyst at Grid, you'll demonstrate sound judgement while questioning existing policies and procedures for improvement.
- Data Analysis: As a data-driven product and culture, we have robust data pipelines and analytics infrastructure. To be successful at Grid, you'll utilize SQL and other analysis tools to evaluate performance and anomalies.
- Risk Tolerance: As an early stage company, one of our advantages is speed and the lack of bureaucracy. Not everything will be successful, so the skill to cut losses early and move forward will be instrumental in your success.

- Curiosity and Optimism: People who are constantly asking why the world around them works the way it does, and who have the will to change it.
- First Principles: Tendency to understand the world by taking a first-principles approach.
- Experience prioritizing customers and user experience: We're looking for people who make complicated things simple. Financial services tend to be unnecessarily complex by default. We aspire towards lightweight UX that's quick and fun for our users.
- Analytically oriented: Proven experience in analytics. We're not talking about just pulling data accurately, but asking the right questions with the ability to answer them.
- Autonomy and Initiative: Ability to work independently and take ownership of projects, showcasing a proactive approach to identifying key leverage points for products and experiences.
- Self Starter: Confidence to prioritize work and delivery demonstrable results on a tight cadence.
To keep things simple, at Grid we're looking for people that want to change the world for the better and have the boldness to tackle complex problems with creative solutions.
