About the Job

Requirements

  • At least 10 years of experience in fraud, risk, trust and safety, or anti-abuse, much of it at a consumer platform, mobile ad network, mobile measurement partner, or rewards business, including firsthand experience handling several of the described threats.
  • Strong SQL skills and enough Python proficiency to prototype and analyze, with experience designing detection logic used in production.
  • Strong analytical and critical reasoning skills to estimate losses, compare them with control costs, and make defensible decisions.
  • Experience owning a fraud or risk strategy and roadmap and presenting it to senior leadership or a board.
  • Experience managing fraud or security incidents end to end, ideally including establishing on-call and incident-response processes and demonstrating how post-incident work prevented recurrence.
  • Proven ability to deliver through teams the role does not manage and to partner effectively with analytics and engineering leaders.
  • Practical use of large language models and coding agents, prior application of artificial intelligence to detection or investigations, and sound judgment about where human decisions are needed.
  • Working familiarity with Play Integrity, App Attest or DeviceCheck, mobile measurement partner fraud suites, and device-intelligence vendors.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, including reliable follow-through.

Responsibilities

  • Own the fraud strategy and roadmap, maintain a current view of exposure and its costs, set priorities, and develop a roadmap with Fraud Analytics, Engineering, and Product teams.
  • Review new features, offers, and reward mechanics for abuse risks before launch, and push back when they are not ready.
  • Own fraud metrics for losses, prevalence, and false positives; ensure their reliability; and report fraud posture, strategy, and progress regularly to senior leadership and the board.
  • Lead detection and enforcement with Fraud Analytics and cross-functional teams by setting investigation priorities, investigating live attack patterns with analysts, prototyping rules and models, and providing specifications for engineering productionization.
  • Own the enforcement ladder, including warnings, holds, account bans, device bans, and the appeals policy, while protecting legitimate players.
  • Coordinate with commercial and marketing teams to resolve issues with clients and marketing channels.
  • Establish fraud on-call rotations and incident-response playbooks, procedures, severity levels, escalation paths, and business communications.
  • Lead fraud incident response by containing attacks, coordinating analytics, engineering, support, and finance, and keeping leadership informed; own post-incident reviews and reports and ensure recurrence-prevention mitigations are prioritized and shipped.
  • Set traffic-quality standards for LoyaltyPlay and third-party offerwall publishers, determine how publisher-level fraud is scored and handled, and own the install-quality narrative to advertisers, including dispute handling.
  • Integrate large language models and coding agents into daily fraud work, including triage, evidence gathering, and preliminary investigations, with people making final enforcement decisions; support analytics-team adoption and monitor AI-driven abuse.
  • Choose how to use Play Integrity, App Attest, and mobile measurement partner fraud tools; evaluate device-intelligence and bot-detection vendors against measured results; and make purchasing decisions.
  • Coordinate cross-company teams across Commercial, Marketing, Engineering, Product, User Acquisition, Supply, Support, Finance, and Legal to clarify expectations and ownership without formal authority.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience with rewarded gaming, offerwalls, or incentivized user acquisition.
  • Experience with Databricks or Spark.
  • Experience with graph or link analysis.
  • Knowledge of mobile client security.
  • Prior people-management experience or interest in growing into people management.
