Every fan deserves a fair game. Our Fraud Analytics team works to prevent people from trying to game the system, while making sure the vast majority of legitimate players never feel a thing. This paid internship in Atlanta works directly on real fraud questions with real data alongside our analysts and Fraud Operations.
What You'll Do
- Investigate Fraud Patterns: Analyze onboarding, promo, and payment activity to spot abuse, size the risk, and recommend fixes that reduce fraud loss without adding friction for good players.
- Measure What Works: Evaluate fraud controls using before/after comparisons, holdouts, and backtests, including the impact on legitimate users.
- Build a Single Source of Truth: Build dashboards and help maintain a lightweight fraud and payment metric dictionary, and triage data anomalies with Engineering so the numbers stay trustworthy.
- Support Stakeholders: Answer ad-hoc questions from Fraud Ops and Product with clear, reliable information and concise recommendations.
What You'll Bring
- Proven SQL Skills: Comfortable with joins, window functions, and aggregations. Coursework and projects count.
- Analysis Tools: Proficiency with Excel/Google Sheets and stats basics like hypothesis testing. Python, R, or Tableau is a plus.
- A Project to Show Off: Something you can walk us through, ideally where you balanced competing goals or competing priorities. Class, work, club, and personal projects all count.
- Excellent Communication: Able to explain complex concepts clearly to non-technical teammates and curious about how systems get abused. Passion for sports is a plus.
What We Are Looking For
- Student Profile: Rising juniors, seniors, Master's students, or recent graduates, within 1 semester of graduation, authorized to work in the U.S.
- Majors: Open to majors including Statistics, Mathematics, Data Science, Economics, and Computer Science.
