Design automated response mechanisms that enforce platform policies without manual intervention
Own the full abuse response lifecycle: detection, investigation, enforcement, and handling appeals alongside Support and Legal
Analyze attack patterns using BigQuery and Hex, turning investigation findings into new detection rules
Maintain and extend internal detection tools (Slurper, Netwatch) that continuously monitor user activity
Integrate and tune security scanners (SAST, SCA) in CI pipelines with tight performance SLAs
Track abuse trends, measure detection effectiveness, and adapt defenses as attack patterns evolve

You prefer deep security research over building operational detection systems
You want to focus on vulnerability management, pentesting, or bug bounty triage (that's our Security team)
You're looking for a role with predictable, well-defined problems rather than constantly adapting to adversarial behavior
You prefer working in isolation rather than partnering closely with Support, Legal, and cross-functional teams
You're uncomfortable making enforcement decisions that affect real users
