Who Should Apply
The ideal candidate is a detail-oriented investigator who enjoys solving puzzles where the answer isn't obvious. You likely come from fraud detection, insurance fraud, forensic accounting, or financial crimes, and you're comfortable digging through data with SQL and Python. You're someone who can communicate complex findings clearly, adapt to new abuse patterns, and take ownership of ambiguous cases. If you have experience with content moderation, policy design, or AI/ML concepts, that's a plus — but what matters most is your ability to think critically and follow the evidence.
