  • Leverage open- and closed-source intelligence, industry partnerships, intelligence-sharing communities, and emerging data sources to enhance threat visibility and intelligence collection capabilities.
  • Produce intelligence assessments and threat reporting that inform detection, investigations, and operational decision-making.
  • Reverse engineer and analyze malicious tooling, automation frameworks, browser extensions, attack infrastructure, and other mechanisms used to target or abuse Adobe services, documenting attacker methodologies and identifying opportunities for disruption.
  • Evaluate emerging technologies, including AI-enabled attack techniques, adversarial tooling, and automation frameworks, to identify evolving threats and develop scalable detection and mitigation strategies.
  • Conduct complex technical investigations into fraud, abuse, account compromise, platform misuse, and other malicious activity, including escalation analysis, attribution, root cause determination, and identification of coordinated threat activity.
  • Discover exploited or potential vulnerabilities and partner with stakeholders to develop mitigation strategies, remediation plans, and long-term risk reduction approaches.
  • Translate intelligence and investigative findings into scalable detection, monitoring, prevention, and enforcement capabilities.
  • Develop and maintain investigative methodologies, detection workflows, and operational processes that support effective threat detection, analysis, and response.
  • Partner with Product, Security, Engineering, Data Science, Risk, Trust & Safety, and other stakeholders to mitigate threats, improve platform resilience, and strengthen customer protection.
  • Support incident response and emerging threat investigations by providing intelligence, attribution analysis, investigative expertise, and strategic guidance.
  • Develop executive-ready briefings, investigative summaries, and risk assessments that communicate findings, business impact, and strategic recommendations.
  • Advise stakeholders on intelligence-driven risk mitigation, fraud prevention, abuse prevention, and vulnerability management strategies.
  • Serve as a subject matter expert on adversarial behavior, emerging threats, and fraud trends, helping inform long-term threat reduction and platform protection strategies.

Requirements

  • Exceptional written, verbal, and presentation skills, with the ability to translate complex investigative, intelligence, and technical findings into clear, actionable recommendations for technical, operational, and executive audiences.
  • Strong analytical and investigative skills, with the ability to identify patterns, assess risk, and transform complex data and intelligence into meaningful insights that drive informed decision-making.
  • Creative and strategic problem-solving capabilities, including the ability to anticipate emerging threats, identify gaps, and develop innovative, scalable solutions to mitigate risk.
  • A naturally inquisitive and investigative mindset, with a passion for understanding adversarial behavior, attacker methodologies, emerging technologies, and evolving fraud and abuse trends.
  • Experience using SQL/SPL and data analysis techniques to support investigations, identify patterns, uncover actionable intelligence, and validate investigative hypotheses.
  • Proven ability to manage competing priorities and adapt quickly in a dynamic, fast-paced environment while maintaining high-quality outcomes.
  • Self-motivated, proactive, and comfortable operating with ambiguity, with the ability to work independently and collaboratively across cross-functional teams.
  • Strong attention to detail, sound judgment, and a commitment to quality, ensuring thorough, accurate, and high-confidence investigative outcomes.
  • Experience identifying risk signals, anomalous behaviors, and abuse patterns and translating findings into effective detection, mitigation, or enforcement strategies.
  • Experience in fraud investigations, threat intelligence, cybersecurity investigations, abuse prevention, trust and safety operations, fraud analytics, enterprise risk management or related investigative disciplines is preferred.
  • Experience reviewing commerce, transactional, or platform activity to identify suspicious behavior, emerging attack patterns, and opportunities to improve detection and risk mitigation strategies is a plus.
