Job description

At CloudWalk, we’re building the future of payments — and risk is at the heart of making that happen responsibly.

Build and maintain AI agents to automate risk monitoring, provisioning, and reporting workflows.

Partner with the Credit Policy team to define limits, strategies, and credit appetite aligned with the company’s RAS.

Perform stress testing, scenario analysis, and model backtesting to ensure portfolio resilience.

Collaborate closely with Data Science, Finance, Compliance, and Fraud teams to ensure consistency, explainability, and auditability across models.

Prepare and present insights and reports for senior management and regulators.

What You’ll Need to Succeed:

Solid understanding of BACEN credit risk regulations (Res. BCB 265/2022, CMN 4.557/2017, CMN 2.682/1999, Circular 3.978/2020).
