Fraud Analyst

As a Fraud and Payments Analyst at NextGen Ventures, you'll monitor identity verification, payment activity, and unusual winning patterns to detect and prevent fraud across our platform. Working in KYC tools like Surt and risk platforms like SEON, you'll flag suspicious behavior, investigate potentially fraudulent accounts, and help protect the integrity of our payment ecosystem.

Because fraud doesn't keep business hours, this role works on a rotating shift schedule

that includes evenings and weekends. It's a hands-on entry point into compliance — you'll learn the tools, the regulations, and the patterns on the job, and you'll be trusted with real decisions early.

This role is critical to protecting our users and upholding the security and trust of our

platform.

This is an onsite role based in our Monterrey, Mexico office.
