Risk Analyst

What do we do?

Paddle offers digital product companies a completely different approach to their payment infrastructure. Instead of assembling and maintaining a complex stack of payments-related apps and services, we’re a Merchant of Record for our customers. That means we take away 100% of the pain of payment fragmentation. It’s faster, safer, cheaper, and, above all, way better. 

We’re backed by investors including KKR, FTV Capital, Kindred, Notion, and 83North and serve over 5000 software sellers in 245 territories globally.

• You have experience reviewing web monitoring alerts (for example, EverCompliant, Webshield or G2)

• You have experience reviewing alerts related to chargebacks, transaction-laundering and fraud.
