You’ll work daily with multiple internal teams on vitally important and deeply cross-functional goals.

What you’ll bring to the role:

• Deep hands-on experience crafting and deploying robust threat intelligence models, systems, and controls within dynamic, high-growth environments.
• Expertise in leveraging risk modeling, anomaly detection, and behavioral analysis to proactively identify and neutralize emerging threats across various vectors.
• Demonstrated ability to effectively collaborate and communicate across teams, translating complex intelligence into actionable insights that directly enhance our data quality and protect us from fraud.

Even better if you have:

• Familiarity with AI training data workflows, labeling platforms, or crowdsourcing tools is a strong advantage.

What you’ll be doing in the role:

• Proactively anticipate the next wave of sophisticated threats by diligently gathering and analyzing intelligence signals from diverse sources, including online communities and partner networks.
• Act as the internal SME on online fraud, integrating threat intelligence, academic research, and evolving regulations into policy and process improvements.
• Monitor, investigate, and respond to emerging threats in both human data and crowdwork/gigwork ecosystems, staying ahead of risks like impersonation, and bot/agentic AI activity.
• Lead rigorous, ongoing audits and investigations, from quality reviews to system-wide risk assessments, driving insights and compliance reporting.
• Collaborate cross-functionally, including with engineering, data science, legal, and external partners, to build tooling, maintain compliance (e.g., GDPR, SOC 2), and advance industry-wide standards.
