What we’re looking for:

You are an ideal candidate for our team if you value:

  • Protecting users and making the Internet a safer place for everyone.

  • Demonstrating a high level of curiosity and taking a proactive and innovative approach to preventing online abuse.

  • Standing up for our users and always doing what’s right.

In a typical day, you may find yourself:

  • Identifying and neutralizing – at scale – malicious activity targeting Yahoo users or using Yahoo products.

  • Analyzing and actioning intel from strategic internal partners and external parties.

  • 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.

 

Qualifications:

  • A Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience.

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

  • 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
