Key Responsibilities
- Define and document relevant evaluators, signals, and data points to inform bot detection and mitigation.
- Identify and validate high-quality datasets; research and track potential evasion vectors and emerging threats.
- Design scoring systems, decision logic, and validation flows to strengthen detection accuracy and reduce false positives.
- Propose innovative challenge and validation mechanisms for both server-side and client-side defenses.
- Collaborate closely with engineering teams to deliver structured documentation, technical handoff materials, and guidance for product integration.
- Contribute to product documentation, technical wikis, and knowledge bases to accelerate development and onboarding.
Required Skills & Qualifications
