Sr Risk And Vulnerability Analyst Jobs in California

Intuit QuickBooks is leading the charge in revolutionizing financial services for small and mid-market businesses through its money movement platform. Lending — Term Loan (TL), Line of Credit (LOC), and Revenue Based Financing (RBF) — is one of the fastest-growing pillars of that platform, extending credit to millions of small businesses that traditional lenders overlook. Growing responsibly at that scale requires world‑class fraud strategy.

The Lending Fraud Policy team combines cutting‑edge AI, cross‑product signal intelligence, and deep credit‑risk expertise to detect and prevent fraud across the full lending lifecycle — from onboarding, through underwriting, disbursement, servicing, and recovery — while enabling frictionless experiences for good customers. As a Senior Staff Fraud & Risk Analyst, you will own end-to-end lending fraud strategy across Term Loan (TL), Line of Credit (LOC), and Revenue Based Financing (RBF) — the policy, detection systems, and operational governance that determine who Intuit lends to, on what terms, and how we defend the book from stolen/synthetic‑identity fraud (FRAPP), account takeover (ATO), first‑party fraud, and bust‑out rings. You will collaborate with Product, Engineering, Data Science, Finance, Legal/LCPO, Risk Operations, and Internal Audit to design and continuously improve the risk experience.

If you are passionate about solving real customer problems through decision science and analytics — and building the fraud strategy that lets Intuit safely extend credit to businesses no one else will — we welcome you to join our talented team.
