Group Overview
Customer Trust is the organization that constantly makes high judgment decisions across a wide breadth of constituents. We build and deliver services for Buyers, Sellers, Vendors and other customers. We ensure that Amazon is a safe and trustworthy place to shop and an amazing place to build a successful business selling products. We support our many partners in this journey. We face constant trade-offs and competing objectives that we need to appropriately balance. We have to do all of this at high scale which only happens through technology and science. We are also a large organization that leads on innovation in many areas, so we also play a critical role in helping Amazon more broadly beyond our own goals.
We’re the Disbursement Trust Engineering team in Financial Risk Mitigation org within broader Customer Trust organization. Our organization is focused on eliminating the profit that bad actors can realize from operating in our store, as well as minimizing the customer impact and the financial costs that we incur from bad actor activity by ensuring that we have the appropriate payment and disbursement controls, verifications, and validations in place, and we are quickly identifying and actioning suspicious money movements to mitigate customer and financial risk. We not only leverage industry leading technology, we innovate our own solutions that are ahead of the curve (and necessarily so to stay ahead of bad actors).
