Meta Looking For Security Engineer Investigator, Business Integrity at Seattle, WA Full Time

Business Integrity’s mission is to ensure trustworthy connections between people and businesses. In Business Integrity, we target some of the most critical issues facing our company, from election interference and user privacy, to coordinated networks of bad actors impacting the billions of people who use our products. Our team protects users and businesses by proactively identifying potential threats to our platforms, investigating bad actors operating across our business surfaces, and leveraging investigative findings and adversarial understanding to scale protections and mitigate vulnerabilities in our products.
