The ARG Engineering Manager will lead the Abuse Research Group, setting its research agenda across threat intelligence, fraud investigations, merchant ecosystem defense, and detection engineering while developing the team. The role also provides technical guidance on complex investigations and partners with internal and external stakeholders to turn research into proactive protections.
Responsibilities
- Lead, develop, and retain a team of threat intelligence analysts, fraud researchers, and detection engineers who thrive at the intersection of adversarial research and engineering
- Set and execute the research agenda across threat actor tracking, fraud investigation, merchant ecosystem defense, and automated detection engineering
- Provide technical depth and analytical judgment on complex investigations, including API key takeovers, account compromise campaigns, and KYC bypass techniques
- Operationalize research findings into production-level detection rules, automated response mechanisms, and cross-functional escalations
- Collaborate with Risk, Trust & Safety, Fraud Platform, and Security Engineering to translate abuse research into proactive platform protections
- Coordinate with external stakeholders, including law enforcement, to disrupt and attribute high-impact threat actors
- Coach and mentor individual contributors to support their career development while maintaining high technical standards
Skills
- 10+ years of experience leading security engineering or research teams, with a track record of managing technical ICs doing investigative, intelligence, or detection work
- B.S. or M.S. Computer Science or related field, or equivalent experience in Security
- Experience recruiting, growing, and leading technical teams, including performance management
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to develop and deliver operational or incident-related information to leadership
- Familiarity with fraud and abuse patterns specific to payments and fintech
- Hands-on experience with threat intelligence tradecraft: OSINT, dark web collection, actor attribution, and working with structured intelligence frameworks (ATT&CK, STIX/TAXII, or equivalent)
- Strong understanding of threat actor tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs)
- Background in security research, threat intelligence, or fraud detection engineering — prior experience leading or working in teams that study adversary behavior, build detection systems, or operate intelligence programs; experience in payments, fintech, or financial crime is a strong plus
- Technical fluency across the domains ARG works in — threat intelligence, fraud signal development, detection engineering, and OSINT
- Experience managing or growing technical research teams, ideally in a domain where the work is investigative, ambiguous, and doesn't map cleanly to sprint velocity
