The ideal candidate brings together technical acumen, product sense, and business savvy, with a passion for making an impact through creative storytelling and timely actions. You'll need to demonstrate expertise in applied statistics, have experience in anti-abuse systems, and possess strong communication skills to work effectively with various stakeholders.

The position comes with competitive compensation ($167,000-$267,000) and comprehensive benefits including health and wellness programs, equity, and annual performance bonuses. LinkedIn's culture emphasizes work-life balance, professional development, and creating an environment where everyone feels a true sense of belonging.
