At Mudflap, we're modernizing the $1 trillion trucking industry, the backbone of the U.S. economy. By helping over 100,000 underserved small businesses save over $1.5 billion on fuel, Mudflap has quickly grown into a profitable fintech platform that processes billions in annual payment volume.

As a Senior Fraud Analyst, you will help shape Mudflap’s fraud strategy as we scale our payments platform and expand into new products and payment rails. You’ll combine deep analytics, strong fraud intuition, and cross-functional leadership to identify emerging threats, design effective controls, and balance loss prevention with customer experience and growth.

This is a highly visible role for someone who wants to move beyond investigating individual cases and build the systems, strategies, and analytical frameworks that determine how a growing fintech manages fraud at scale.
