We're transforming the grocery industry
At Instacart, we invite the world to share love through food because we believe everyone should have access to the food they love
and more time to enjoy it together. Where others see a simple need for grocery delivery, we see exciting complexity and endless
opportunity to serve the varied needs of our community. We work to deliver an essential service that customers rely on to get
their groceries and household goods, while also offering safe and flexible earnings opportunities to Instacart Personal Shoppers.
Instacart has become a lifeline for millions of people, and we’re building the team to help push our shopping cart forward. If
you’re ready to do the best work of your life, come join our table.
Instacart is a Flex First team
There’s no one-size fits all approach to how we do our best work. Our employees have the flexibility to choose where they do their
best work—whether it’s from home, an office, or your favorite coffee shop—while staying connected and building community through
regular in-person events. Learn more about our flexible approach to where we work.
Instacart’s Platform team powers the foundational capabilities behind our marketplace and Storefront Pro, including order
management, pricing and discounting, loyalty, payments, fraud, and customer experience. We’re hiring a Senior Product Manager to
build and own Instacart’s Risk Platform: the shared infrastructure behind fraud detection, appeasements, and identity verification
across our four-sided marketplace of customers, shoppers, retailers, and advertisers. You’ll set the north star for what this
platform becomes, define the roadmap and sequencing to get there, and own the outcomes to build the platform.
Instacart’s Fraud, Appeasements & Identity team sits at the intersection of platform infrastructure and real-world commerce,
protecting millions of transactions across a four-sided marketplace.
In this role, you will own the end-to-end product vision and roadmap for how Instacart prevents fraud, verifies identity, and
resolves order disputes fairly. A core challenge is navigating the tension between cost efficiency and delivering a fast, fair
customer experience - shaping fraud and appeasement policies with cross-functional partners that protect the business without
degrading the customer experience that drives growth. You'll drive measurable impact on cost per order, fraud losses, and customer
experience by evolving our real-time decision platform, advancing ML-driven fraud models, and shaping the next generation of
AI-native fraud defense.
On the fraud and identity side, you'll own a real-time ML-powered decision platform and build the next generation of AI-native
fraud defense. The industry is undergoing a generational shift from rules-based to AI-first fraud prevention, and you'll define
Instacart's strategy for it.
On the appeasements side, you'll tackle one of the most interesting product challenges in commerce: how do you make customers
whole quickly and fairly when something goes wrong, while maintaining thoughtful safeguards against abuse? Every customer-facing
commitment we make builds the trust that drives loyalty and growth, and also requires careful product and policy design to manage
cost responsibly. You'll design the systems and policies that solve this tension at scale, working across Order Quality, CX,
Legal, and Finance.
Ultimately, you’ll set the roadmap to define and build a new piece of platform infrastructure at Instacart to power risk
decisioning across all our product surface areas.
