Work closely with cross-functional teams of data and backend engineers, and product managers.
Partner with a broad range of stakeholders across music, podcasts and audiobooks to consistently uphold platform integrity.
Who You Are
A Bachelor's degree in Data Science, CS, or another quantitative field.
1+ years work experience with an emphasis on investigative data analysis, anomaly detection, and data pipelines.

Strong analytical skills, with the ability to turn data into actionable insights and recommendations.
Strong problem-solving skills, intellectual curiosity, and a proactive approach to identifying new opportunities for fraud detection.
A continuous learner, excited by new technologies and able to pick up new tools and frameworks quickly.
