  • About the Role** You'll join a trust & safety function protecting a high-traffic, consumer-facing platform from fraud and abuse. Partnering with product, engineering, and operations stakeholders, you'll investigate ambiguous, evolving abuse patterns — applying investigative rigor and creative analysis to get to root cause. Over time, you'll build specialized subject-matter expertise across the many forms this abuse can take.
