Facebook was built to help people connect and share, and over the last decade our tools have played a critical part in changing how people around the world communicate with one another. With over a billion people using the service and more than fifty offices around the globe, a career at Facebook offers countless ways to make an impact in a fast growing organization.
Come join the team responsible for working on any and all things related to payments on Facebook.

Who are we?
At Facebook, we're all about playing to an individual's strengths and balancing a team with a variety of talents. We have teammates that eat, sleep, and breathe data, while we have others that meet with various stakeholders to synthesize feedback as a means to enhance the product. Regardless if you are aligned with more technical projects or people-oriented tasks, our team consists of creative thinkers that are excellent problem solvers. We work everyday on problems that no company has ever seen. There's often not a "right" answer, but you will work to find a great answer amongst the ambiguity. To be successful on our team, you must be able to fully express complex solutions that you are not afraid to defend, but also willing to receive feedback on them.

Who are you?
You are someone who loves "big data." If given a vast database, not only would you find useful information in it, but you could organize it into beautiful charts that tell a compelling story. You might have majored in Economics, Math, Computer Science, Finance, Physics...really any field that had you designing experiments and running regressions. You are excited by the opportunity to make processes more efficient, accurate, and reliable.

You're awesome. So please introduce yourself and tell us why you're the perfect fit for the fastest moving, most impact-driven risk and payments team out there!

Responsibilities
Our projects span the spectrum from finding patterns amongst fraud schemes, tracking our loss metrics and strategizing on how to decrease them, working alongside product to implement solutions to create a better payments experience, optimizing our customer support structure, providing insight on new products from a payments perspective, and partnering with our developers to maintain the integrity of the platform. At the end of the day, we put together a state-of-the-art operations platform to keep fraud off of Facebook and enhance the experience of the payers on our site.
