About the team
The Gaps, Misuse, Emerging Risks (GaMER) team was created to address the fact that Payment Risk programs have vulnerabilities that require an owner to triage, prioritize, and create solutions in order to address the root cause of the new gap, especially as the surface area that bad actors can exploit continues to increase as Amazon continues to launch more payment methods due to marketplace expansion.
For issues that do not fall within the realm of a specific BRP program today, the GaMER team sizes the opportunity, prioritizes based on impact, and identifies the root cause of the issue. The GaMER Program Manager will work cross functionally with various stakeholder teams (ML, Risk Mining, Engineering, etc.) to develop a combination of short- and long- term solutions to address the issue.
