Staff Software Engineer, Spam and Abuse

Snap Inc is a technology company. We believe the camera presents the greatest opportunity to improve the way people live and communicate. Snap contributes to human progress by empowering people to express themselves, live in the moment, learn about the world, and have fun together.

The Company operates Snapchat , a visual messaging app that enhances your relationships with friends, family, and the world, and Specs Inc. , a wholly-owned subsidiary dedicated to making computing more human, in addition to Bitmoji , Saturn, and other digital services. We're looking for a Staff Software Engineer to be the technical lead for the Spam & Abuse team at Snap!

Spam & Abuse protects the integrity of every Snapchat account.

We keep the rightful owner in control of their account by detecting and stopping account takeover and securing login, recovery, and sessions.

We track how adversaries operate off-platform and turn that into live defenses. And we run the shared detection and enforcement platform that makes real-time decisions on accounts and publishes account risk that teams across Snap act on. Alongside this, our Secure Mobile Client team builds the client and backend mechanisms behind sensitive flows like registration, login, and recovery, as well as on-device safety surfaces such as in-app reporting and end-to-end encryption.
