Staff Security Engineer, Abuse Control

Reference: gyz7i01o9p9l5zw3o8uj

We are seeking a Staff Security Engineer, Abuse Control to lead the design and development of systems that protect users, platforms, and business operations from abuse. In this role, you will shape the strategy for detecting, preventing, and responding to threats such as account compromise, fraud, spam, automated attacks, platform manipulation, and other forms of malicious activity. You will work across security, engineering, product, data science, operations, and legal teams to identify emerging risks and deliver scalable, measurable controls.

You will define technical direction for abuse prevention capabilities, including risk signals, detection engines, automated enforcement, investigation workflows, and appeals processes. Responsibilities include analysing complex attack patterns, improving the accuracy of detection models and rules, designing resilient services and data pipelines, and establishing metrics to measure effectiveness and user impact. You will lead incident response for high-severity abuse events, conduct root-cause analysis, communicate findings to senior stakeholders, and drive durable improvements. You will also mentor engineers, review architecture and code, raise security standards, and help establish consistent processes for threat modelling, experimentation, monitoring, and operational readiness.

The successful candidate will bring substantial experience in security engineering, trust and safety, fraud prevention, abuse prevention, or a closely related field, along with a strong understanding of distributed systems, authentication, authorisation, and secure software development. Experience building detection or response systems using data analysis, machine learning, rules engines, or behavioural signals is highly desirable. You should be comfortable working with ambiguous, fast-changing problems and balancing protection, privacy, reliability, and user experience. Strong communication skills are essential, as is the ability to influence technical and non-technical stakeholders, make sound decisions with incomplete information, and deliver practical solutions at scale.
