This role focuses on protecting ecommerce and customer facing applications from credential stuffing, scraping, account takeover, fraud, and abuse, while minimizing friction for legitimate users. The engineer partners closely with application teams, fraud, SRE, and security operations to continuously tune detection logic, respond to evolving attacker techniques, and improve overall digital resilience. Duties &Responsibilities Considered a high-level specialist who regularly interacts and works with senior management. Uses advanced techniques, theories, and processes to complete work. Next step is typically management. Typically reports to a department head or manager. Performs work independently. Competencies: Technical expertise. Problem-solving skills. Interpersonal skills. Leadership skills. Ecommerce Fraud Attack Types, familiarity with:\nCredential stuffing / ATO (high-velocity login attempts, distributed IPs, low-and-slow)\nCarding (payment endpoint probing with small authorizations)\nScraping (catalog/search/product detail harvesting, pricing intelligence)\nScalping / inventory denial (add-to-cart / checkout automation)\nPromo/gift card abuse Telemetry + logging mastery: They should be comfortable using and correlating:\nWAF/CDN logs (Akamai, Cloudflare, Fastly, etc.)\nApplication logs (auth events, checkout errors, user agent hints)\nAPI gateway logs\nSIEM (Splunk/Kusto/Sentinel) for investigations and dashboards Skills to target:\nFeature engineering (rate, burst, entropy, distribution anomalies) Baselines (normal traffic vs anomaly) Detection tuning (reduce false positives without losing coverage) Building golden signals: login failure rate, unique IPs per account, new device rate, checkout abandonment spikes, 4xx/5xx patterns Web, HTTP, and Browser Automation Understanding (Must-Have) Protocols + client behavior\nDeep understanding of HTTP (headers, cookies, caching, redirects, TLS) Browser/runtime differences: headless Chrome, Playwright/Puppeteer, Selenium Bot fingerprint concepts: o JS execution signals navigator / canvas / WebGL anomalies cookie integrity, token binding ideas TLS / JA3-style fingerprinting (conceptually) Edge/WAF/CDN Rule Engineering (Must-Have)\nWriting and tuning WAF rules / bot policies Rate limiting strategies (global, per IP, per session, per account, per ASN) Challenge flows (JS challenge, CAPTCHA, proof-of-work style concepts) Allowlist/denylist governance (and how allowlists get abused) Release discipline:\nStaged deployment: monitor → alert → soft block → hard block A/B testing of mitigation to protect conversion\nRequirements Basic\nQualifications Proven experience in designing and implementing security systems. Deep understanding of various security protocols and measures.\nPreferred\nQualifications Professional certifications such as CISSP, CISM, or similar. Master's degree in a relevant field.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3082,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Cybersecurity","Fraud Detection","Information Security"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-29T01:51:46Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":9,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.321,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":97,"expected_fill_days":29,"reasons":["conf:3","stale_co","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-29T05:49:05Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/staples-india-senior-cybersecurity-engineer-bot-detection","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/staples-india-senior-cybersecurity-engineer-bot-detection.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-30T05:05:44Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":7142,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-31T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4441822},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4441822"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fstaples-india-senior-cybersecurity-engineer-bot-detection"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fstaples-india-senior-cybersecurity-engineer-bot-detection"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fstaples-india-senior-cybersecurity-engineer-bot-detection"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/staples-india-senior-cybersecurity-engineer-bot-detection\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fstaples-india-senior-cybersecurity-engineer-bot-detection"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3433673}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"staplesindia.in","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3433673},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
