Eventbrite is a big, bustling marketplace where anyone can post an event in minutes or buy a ticket in seconds. The Risk pillar builds the guardrails that ensure our creators get paid and our attendees find amazing events. We ensure great experiences happen reliably and without unnecessary risks even as Eventbrite launches innovative features and expands into new markets across the world. Keeping ahead of fraudsters requires a balance of proactivity and reactivity with the agility to switch focus when necessary. Our decision analysts make sure we keep up without our organizers noticing by designing low profile, high precision, data-driven solutions to the ever-changing landscape of threats.
