Fake account creation at scale, credential stuffing, payment fraud, free-tier farming, API abuse. We don’t have a dedicated fraud and abuse prevention function today, and we need one. This is a build-from-zero role. You’ll own the detection systems, investigate incidents, and work with engineering to close the gaps that make abuse possible in the first place.\nWhat you’ll do\nBuild detection systems from scratch. Rules engines, anomaly detection, behavioral signals. You’ll decide what stack and tooling we use. We’ve got TypeScript, Rust, and Python in the codebase today, and you’ll work across all three as needed.\nInvestigate incidents hands-on. When a fraud spike hits or a new abuse pattern surfaces, you’re the one digging in, figuring out what’s happening, and shipping a fix. Not handing it off, owning it.\n Partner with the payments team. As we scale monetization, payment fraud (stolen cards, chargeback abuse, refund exploitation) becomes a core risk. You’ll work directly with the payments team to build fraud controls into the payment flow, not bolt them on after.\nStop automated abuse. Bot-driven fake signups, rate limit evasion, token farming, API key abuse. Build the signals and enforcement that make large-scale automation expensive and unattractive.\nPrevent account takeover. Credential stuffing, session hijacking, account sharing rings. Build detection and friction that protects real users without wrecking the signup experience.\nIterate with data. Every detection system has false positives. You’ll tune thresholds, measure impact, and make sure legitimate users aren’t caught in the net.\nWhat we’re looking for\n10+ years of software engineering experience, with strong security fundamentals. You need to think like an adversary and care about building systems that resist abuse.\nComfortable across TypeScript, Rust, and Python. You won’t be boxed into one language. Our codebase spans all three, and the detection systems you build will need to integrate with existing infrastructure.\nSelf-directed and comfortable with ambiguity. This is a new function. There’s no playbook to follow, no existing system to maintain. You’ll define what we build and why.\nPragmatic about tooling. You’ll recommend the fraud and abuse stack. We’re not wedded to a specific vendor. If you know the right tools, great. If not, you’ll evaluate and choose.\nIncident response mindset. When something breaks, you dig in. You don’t need a runbook to start investigating.\nNice to have\nExperience with payment fraud detection, chargeback management, or billing abuse\nFamiliarity with Cloudflare, WAF rules, bot management, or similar edge-layer controls\nPrior experience building trust & safety or fraud detection systems at a consumer-facing platform\nExperience with ML-based anomaly detection or behavioral analytics","description_format":"text","description_chars":3613,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":10,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["LLM & Generative AI","Generative Image"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-29T23:10:51Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":52,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.694,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":19,"expected_fill_days":21,"reasons":["conf:1","win:late"],"computed_at":"2026-11-11T05:49:22Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/venice-staff-engineer-fraud-abuse","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/venice-staff-engineer-fraud-abuse.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-11T19:01:14Z","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":36658,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-12T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"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":719973},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=719973"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fvenice-staff-engineer-fraud-abuse"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"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%2Fvenice-staff-engineer-fraud-abuse"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"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%2Fvenice-staff-engineer-fraud-abuse"},{"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/venice-staff-engineer-fraud-abuse\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fvenice-staff-engineer-fraud-abuse"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3490043}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"venice.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3490043},"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.
