Software Engineer, Ads Integrity

The role

You will design and build large-scale backend systems to detect and prevent harmful, deceptive, or fraudulent activity in the ads ecosystem. You will build low-latency infrastructure, risk-signal pipelines, and enforcement systems to protect the ads platform.

What you will do

• Design and build large-scale backend systems to detect and prevent harmful, deceptive, fraudulent, or policy-violating activity.
• Build low-latency integrity infrastructure for real-time risk signal evaluation.
• Develop scalable risk-signal pipelines, decision systems, rules and enforcement infrastructure.
• Build advertiser onboarding, business verification, account-risk, fraud-detection, and abuse-prevention capabilities.
• Develop systems that support ads-specific content safety and detection of unsafe ads.
• Build protections against spam, fraudulent interactions, and manipulation.
• Partner with ML teams to integrate classifiers and model-based signals into production systems.
• Build feedback loops, review systems, and integrity metrics.
• Create tooling and infrastructure for operations and policy teams to investigate abuse.
• Engineer systems that adapt to changing adversary tactics and support experimentation and monitoring.

Required qualifications

• Significant experience building and operating large-scale backend or distributed systems.
• Experience in integrity, trust and safety, anti-abuse, fraud, risk, security, business verification, or a related domain.
• Experience building detection, decisioning, enforcement, verification, investigation, or risk infrastructure in production.
• Understanding of how rules, heuristics, risk signals, ML-based signals, and human review work together in production systems.
• Ability to build low-latency, high-throughput services or data pipelines with reliability, correctness, privacy, and security requirements.
• Ability to reason about false positives, adversarial behavior, explainability, auditability, and operational impact.
• Ability to define technical direction in an ambiguous 0 to 1 environment and drive complex work across teams.
• Ability to communicate clearly across engineering, product, policy, safety, security, operations, and machine-learning teams.
