Responsibilities
Lead and scale a high-impact Integrity Data Science team—hiring, coaching, and developing DS ICs (and potentially future managers) while setting a strong technical and cultural bar
Drive strategy across multiple Integrity domains (policy enforcement, bot detection, fraud prevention, IP theft, risk measurement, abuse prevention), balancing near-term response with durable systems
Build and institutionalize analytical rigor: clear metric frameworks, experimentation standards, monitoring/alerting, and repeatable evaluation approaches for Integrity interventions
Partner deeply with Product & Engineering to shape roadmaps, prioritize the right bets, and translate ambiguous risk signals into practical product and platform decisions
Evolve team structure and operating model as the org scales—defining ownership boundaries, improving processes, and creating leverage through better tooling and AI-assisted workflows
Enable cross-org outcomes, supporting partners outside Integrity (e.g., Growth, Ads, GTM) where integrity risks intersect with product and business goals
Communicate clearly with senior leadership, synthesizing complex tradeoffs, surfacing risk, and driving alignment on priorities and success metrics
Push the team toward an AI-leveraged operating mode, using modern tooling and model capabilities to accelerate detection, triage, analysis, and iteration
Qualification
Required
Deep experience leading and scaling Data Science teams, ideally in trust & safety, fraud/abuse, security, risk, or other adversarial problem spaces in fast-moving environments
Strong technical grounding across modern DS techniques (experimentation, causal inference, anomaly detection, risk modeling, measurement design) and can coach others to execute with rigor
Track record of building durable partnerships across DS, Engineering, Product, and Operations—able to influence without authority and create shared accountability
Excellent at hiring, mentoring, and developing technical talent, and can build a culture that is both high-bar and supportive
Can translate messy, evolving threats into clear frameworks, metrics, and decisions—and keep the team focused on the highest-leverage work
Comfortable operating in ambiguity, and can bring structure, clarity, and momentum where the 'right answer' isn't obvious
Preferred
Experience deploying scaled detection solutions using LLMs, embeddings, fine-tuning, or related ML systems for abuse/fraud/risk
Worked closely with policy, content moderation, investigations, or security operations teams and understand how to design analytics that actually works end-to-end
Built or led measurement systems that balance safety, user experience, and operational/business constraints
