• Design and build technical systems to prevent spam, fraud, and abuse.
• Partner closely with product teams to identify and address potential abuse vectors.
• Develop new signals and improve the use of existing signals to detect abusive behavior.
• Help respond to spam, fraud, and abuse incidents.
This is a full-time role that can be held from one of our US hubs or remotely in the United States.
We’d love to hear from you if you have:
• 5+ years of proven engineering experience working in either a Security Engineering or a Software Engineering role. In the case of the latter, some security experience is preferred.
• Strong security judgment in threat modeling and risk prioritization and/or strong technical judgment in designing and building maintainable, scalable systems.
• Proficiency in at least one general-purpose coding language.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with demonstrated experience collaborating across functions.
While not required, it’s an added plus if you also have:
