Data Quality Analyst - Microsoft (Redmond, WA)

Do you want your friends and family to give you hi-5's when you tell them what you do for a living?

Then come take a position on the front lines of the battle against Internet Abuse - fighting against spam, phishing, malware, identity hijacking, and more!

The Windows Safety Services team is looking for a unique person who can take the controls of the reputation, filtering, analysis, and intelligence systems we've been developing for the past five years and re-target them, on a daily basis, to cause maximal disruption to Internet Abusers' businesses.

This is a challenging role that requires a broad set of skills, a strong ability to deal with ambiguity, and a drive to win! An ideal candidate will have demonstrated proficiency at rapid development/prototyping, experience interfacing with large existing systems, an understanding of how the Internet and Internet abuse works, a functional background in statistics and data analysis, and the desire to work in a fast paced, exciting environment.

Specific daily responsibilities include monitoring (or building tools that monitor) the telemetry coming through our anti-abuse systems; identifying abusers' latest tools and tactics and focusing our existing systems to best counter them; developing ad hoc systems when needed to bridge the gap until new production systems can be brought online; evaluating and advising on the development of proposed anti-abuse systems and data feeds; and working with our applied research and product development teams to shape the future Internet abuse battlefield to our advantage.

Come join us and make a difference!
