More than anything, we are seeking bright, driven people to join us and help drive revenue and directly impact Riskified’s growth. If you’re the type of person who likes to delve into business challenges, understand problems to a deep level and how to solve them, and you like to take on unique challenges, we’d love to learn more about you!
