TL;DR · Engineering Manager, Abuse Control Engineering

As the Engineering Manager, Abuse Control Engineering, you will lead a specialized rapid-response technical defense and control incubator. You will manage a team responsible for identifying cross-product abuse gaps, translating attacker telemetry into technical priorities, and developing automated regression suites to block threat recurrence. Your role involves hiring, coaching, and mentoring engineers while overseeing the design of safeguards that balance risk mitigation against legitimate user conversion. You will collaborate with Fraud, Risk, and Product Engineering teams to manage the lifecycle of control incubation, ensuring successful defenses are documented and transitioned to long-term owners. The role requires a technical foundation in software engineering, security engineering, or anti-abuse engineering. Key competencies include cross-functional execution, evaluating technical designs for reliability and security, and managing complex projects involving experimentation, threat modeling, and large-scale data platforms to identify patterns.
