In this role, you will:

• Monitor and analyze various data sets to identify anomalies, patterns of invalid traffic (IVT), and sophisticated ad fraud schemes.

• 2+ years of experience in an Internet environment; 2 years of ad-tech experience a plus

• Prior experience in client-facing roles

• Expert-level proficiency in Excel, with the ability to manipulate large datasets, build models, and utilize advanced functions (e.g. pivot tables, VLOOKUP, etc) to uncover trends.

• Experience writing and executing SQL queries to extract and analyze data from relational databases; highly preferred.

• A solid understanding of basic internet protocols and web technologies, including how IP addresses work, user agent strings, and how to perform basic network call tracing (e.g., using browser developer tools or inspecting network logs).

• A natural problem-solver who doesn't just look at data points, but connects the dots to understand the bigger picture and spot subtle anomalies.

• A deep desire to dig beneath the surface, ask the right questions, and figure out the "why" behind suspicious patterns.

• The ability to articulate your findings clearly and confidently defend your data-driven ideas and conclusions when challenged.

• A fast learner who thrives in a dynamic environment and can quickly adapt to the rapidly evolving tactics of nefarious actors.

• A strong ethical compass and a genuine desire to "do the right thing" to protect our advertisers, partners, and the integrity of our platform.
