I am a risk taker, but I { don't / wouldn't } take any risks that I { don’t / didn't } understand.

1 don't ... don't ...
OR
2 wouldn't ... didn't ...

Use 1 if you have specific risks in mind that you did not take because you did not understand them. In other words, use 1 to express your true life experiences.

Use 2 if the risks that you have in mind are purely theoretical — risks that you have never actually experienced but which may occur later in the course of your life.

Either one, based on the principles I've already outlined for you.

The one with 'would' takes into account future risks, and the job, if you get it, is in the future, so it seems 'would' would be more likely, don't you think?
