About the role
Key Responsibilities
Investigate evasion clusters end to end — from a single appeal or signal anomaly to the full linked actor network
Convert individual findings into durable systemic controls and detection proposals
Operationalize re-registration controls for high-severity ban populations
Partner with Engineering and Data Science teams on account-linking signals to connect returning actors across identities
Build the recidivism measurement framework: how often banned actors return, how fast we catch them, and which controls reduce return rates
Author playbooks for contractor-supported evasion review with QA against your own gold standard
Keep up to date with emerging AI policy enforcement best practices, and use these to inform our decision-making and workflows
Minimum Qualifications
Experience investigating ban evasion, multi-accounting, or repeat fraud actors at a platform with adversarial users
Fluency in SQL and comfort building your own analyses across large account and event datasets
Experience working with fraud or identity-linking signals and a working understanding of their precision/recall tradeoffs
Rigor about evidence standards — comfort with the asymmetric cost of false positives in severe-harm enforcement
A track record of turning one-off investigations into repeatable detection logic and policy
Strong written communication skills, with experience producing clear briefs and recommendations for technical and non-technical stakeholders
Excellent judgment and the ability to collaborate with team members while navigating rapidly evolving priorities and workstreams
Preferred Qualifications
Experience using payment or network risk signals in an enforcement context
Experience with child-safety or other high-severity integrity enforcement
Experience collaborating directly with detection engineering or data science teams on rule deployment
A deep interest in AI safety and responsible technology development
Experience writing effective prompts for generative AI systems in a content review or enforcement context
