- Convert research discoveries into operational detection rules, automated response systems, and cross-functional escalations
- Partner with Risk, Trust & Safety, Fraud Platform, and Security Engineering to integrate abuse research into platform protections
- Engage with outside stakeholders, including law enforcement agencies, to disrupt and attribute significant threat actors
Requirements
- Possess ten or more years of experience directing security research or engineering teams, including a history of managing technical individual contributors in detection, intelligence, or investigative roles

- Maintain a strong grasp of threat actor tactics, techniques, and procedures
Qualifications
- Hold a Bachelor of Science or Master of Science in Computer Science, a related field, or possess equivalent experience in security
- Bring a background in threat intelligence, security research, or fraud detection engineering
- Demonstrate prior work experience or leadership within teams analyzing adversary behavior, building detection capabilities, or running intelligence programs
