About Job

Sift is a B2B AI-powered fraud platform that secures digital trust by providing comprehensive fraud prevention solutions. As commerce and financial transactions increasingly move online, the internet facilitates easier and instantaneous transactions but also introduces anonymity between transacting parties. To fully harness the potential of online commerce, mutual trust between parties is essential. Without trust, commerce cannot thrive.

Our team owns the vision, research and development of machine learning models and explainability to solve customer pain-points. By providing clear and accurate assessment of risk at multiple points across the entire end-user journey such as login, account creation and payment transactions, we enable merchants to eliminate fraud losses, and create adaptive, frictionless experiences for low risk activities. We believe that machine learning is THE way to empower internet-scale businesses to prevent Account Creation Fraud, Account Takeover (ATO) and Payment Fraud. Our solutions are meticulously designed to detect and mitigate risks associated with various types of fraud, ensuring a secure and trustworthy environment for online commerce.

Join our innovative team and be at the forefront of AI/ML driven fraud prevention technology. Here, you will have the opportunity to work with machine learning models, innovate, and develop solutions that make a real impact by helping everyone trust the internet. If you are passionate about creating safe online experiences and thrive in a collaborative environment, we would love to hear from you.
