<h3> <strong>Sr. Anti-Fraud Engineer</strong> </h3> <h4> <strong><br>About Brave</strong> </h4><p><span style="font-weight:400;">Brave is on a mission to protect the human right to privacy online. We’ve built a free web browser that blocks creepy ads and trackers by default, a private search engine with a </span><em><span style="font-weight:400;">truly</span></em><span style="font-weight:400;"> independent index, a browser-native crypto wallet, and a private ad network (opt-in!) that directly rewards you for your attention. And we’re just getting started. Already 50 million people have switched to Brave for a faster, more private web. Millions more switch every month.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight:400;">The internet is a sea of ads, hackers, and echo chambers. Big Tech makes huge profits off our data, and tells us what’s true and what’s not. Brave is fighting back. Join us!</span></p> <h4> <strong><br>Summary</strong> </h4><p><span style="font-weight:400;">Brave is looking for an engineer who can help us stay one step ahead of fraud in our Brave Ads ecosystem. This position is vital to help us make sure that rewards go to Brave users, not to bad actors. We are looking to refine, automate, and expand the BAT ecosystem’s anti-fraud processes, and build more of the necessary tooling over time. We are looking for somebody who always prefers a simple solution over a complex one and who can take whole solutions from end to end.</span></p> <h4> <strong><br>Requirements</strong> <ul> <li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Experience with Python, JavaScript, Ruby, C++, Go, Java or other similar language</span></li> <li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Experience with SQL, Postgres/Redshift, and building analytics queries</span></li> <li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Experience building robust API endpoints</span></li> <li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Experience stopping bad actors in a system, e.g. ad fraud, e-commerce fraud</span></li> <li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">A working understanding of fraud vectors, both small scale (client side hacks) and large scale (botnets)</span></li> <li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Experience with software development via distributed development teams</span></li> <li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Comfort working in an open source setting</span></li> <li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">A passion for helping protect users’ privacy and security</span></li> <li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Written and verbal communication skills in English</span></li> <li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Proven record of getting things done</span></li> </ul> <h4> <strong><br>Nice to haves</strong> <ul> <li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Have built/trained statistical / machine learning models at scale to solve real world problems</span></li> <li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Experience with ad-tech/martech ecosystem</span></li> <li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Familiarity with the world of cryptocurrency, especially Ethereum</span></li> <li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Familiarity with challenges in privacy preserving ecosystems</span></li> </ul> <h4> <strong><br>Working at Brave</strong> <ul> <li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Industry-leader in privacy, with a research and engineering team that’s innovating everyday to keep people safer online and beat Big Tech</span></li> <li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Highly competitive salaries benefits, and generous home-office stipends</span></li> <li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Fully remote team (no office, no commute)</span></li> <li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Welcoming, humble, ridiculously smart teammates, and a truly flat org structure</span></li> <li style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Opportunity to get in early at a hyper-growth company, and revolutionize the web</span></li> <li style="font-weight:400;"> <span style="font-weight:400;">Oh, and did we mention Brendan, our CEO co-founder, </span><em><span style="font-weight:400;">invented</span></em><span style="font-weight:400;"> JavaScript?</span> </li> </ul> </h4> </h4> </h4><p>United States Candidates: The salary range for this role is $150,000 - $200,000 USD, depending on experience.</p> <h4> <strong><br>Check us out</strong> </h4><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/brave-software/mycompany/"><span style="font-weight:400;">LinkedIn</span></a><span style="font-weight:400;"> | </span><a href="https://www.glassdoor.com/Overview/Working-at-Brave-EI_IE2159279.11,16.htm"><span style="font-weight:400;">Glassdoor</span></a><span style="font-weight:400;"> | </span><a href="http://brave.com/"><span style="font-weight:400;">brave.com</span></a></p> <p></p> <p></p>
