Anti-Abuse Automation Engineer

Role Overview

• Investigate and proactively identify abuse vectors driving financial loss and platform risk (e.g., payment fraud, account abuse), translating findings into scalable detections.
• Build, iterate on, and operate internal fraud detection tooling, rules, and anomaly alerting systems to enable high-signal, automated enforcement.
• Design and continuously refine operational workflows and automation to scale fraud prevention while reducing manual investigation overhead.
• Partner cross-functionally with Operations, Engineering, Product, and Finance to prioritize risks and ship effective fraud mitigation solutions.
• Act as a key stakeholder in incident response, leading fraud investigations and developing durable mitigation and prevention strategies.

Requirements

• 3+ years in fraud and abuse detection within Trust & Safety, with a strong focus on payment and financial fraud (e.g., account takeovers, payment abuse, chargebacks, promo abuse).
• Strong proficiency in SQL and experience navigating large, complex datasets to investigate fraud, generate insights, and build detection logic.
• Designed and implemented automation using scripting and AI tools (LLMs, low/no-code platforms) to streamline investigations and increase enforcement throughput.
• Built and maintained detection logic (rules, heuristics, risk signals), translating investigative insights into scalable, automated workflows.
• Owned the iteration of enforcement and restriction strategies, optimizing for precision, coverage, and loss prevention while minimizing false positives and customer friction.
• Partnered cross-functionally with engineering, data science, and risk teams to productionize detections and integrate ML/LLM capabilities into fraud prevention pipelines.
