  • Evolving threat detections to prevent attacks against Yahoo users and products.

  • Providing investigative support, including data mining and analytics, to various internal investigative and product teams.

  • Feeding insights to engineering and product teams to help improve the overall Yahoo user security experience.

  • Experience analyzing the Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) of web-based fraud, including spam, email scams, phishing, malware and account takeover.

  • Experience with big data technologies such as Splunk, MySQL or Hadoop.

  • Excellent creative thinking, problem-solving, planning, time-management and organization skills to balance and prioritize work.

  • Strong communication skills and an ability to build relationships with cross-functional teams.

  • Comfortable performing in a remote-first environment
