Spam and Abuse Analyst

1 month ago

Seattle, Washington, United States Proton AG Full time

A better internet, where privacy is the default, is possible. Building this better internet might seem daunting or even unthinkable, but at Proton, this is what we do every day.

Proton was founded in 2014 by a group of scientists who met at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). Our first product,Proton Mail, is now the world's largest encrypted email service. Subsequent Proton products, such asProton VPN,Proton Calendar,Proton Drive, and Proton Pass give our users full control over how and with whom their data is shared.

Today, Proton makes privacy universally accessible. Journalists from outlets likeThe GuardianandThe New York Times, some of the world's largest organizations, and people in more than 180 countries have signed up for over 100 million accounts. Our diverse and dynamic team is made up of more than 400 members representing over 40 different nationalities. While we are based in Geneva, Switzerland, we have offices in Zurich, Prague, London, Vilnius, Skopje, Taipei, Barcelona, Paris and many more employees working remotely around the world.

Join one of Europe's fastest-growing companies to help us solve challenging problems and build new products that will reach hundreds of millions of people. We want to create more than just one of the world's most impactful tech companies; we want to create a new internet that serves the interests of all people. We need you, your voice, your ideas, and your ambition to make it happen.

Purpose of the role

The MSA department is a highly multi-disciplinary group started in 2019 to tackle difficult mail delivery, spam and abuse problems. We built sophisticated systems from scratch that combine human intelligence and machine learning to make tens of millions of realtime or asynchronous decisions each day. As of 2022, our three areas of focus are 1) mail delivery and spam, 2) abuse and account security, and 3) site reliability of Proton. Over the past years, our custom systems have reduced spam filter misclassifications by over 50%, blocked millions of abusive bulk signups, protected hundreds of thousands of users from account compromise by attackers, and mitigated hundreds of DDoS attacks. In order to move fast with limited resources, we are organized into autonomous teams responsible for the whole system, with expertise across infrastructure, data storage, backend, frontend, machine learning, security and operational excellence. In 3 years, we grew from 2 engineers to over 30 engineers and analysts, spread across 3 continents for 24/7 coverage. We are looking for humble, mission-driven, systems-thinking people who want to make a big impact in a startup environment.

What you will do

  • Monitoring how things are working in production and taking appropriate actions across all MSA systems
  • Fight spam and abuse by quickly understanding the data and context and creating rules to act on past or future events
  • Give insights and feedback to Software and Machine Learning Engineers to help design and improve our systems.
  • As an engineering-driven organization, MSA currently doesn't have product or project managers, so you will have the opportunity to play those roles and drive the planning, development, and QA process.
  • Our more technical analysts develop Python scripts for more sophisticated actions or data analysis

Job requirements

  • Experience performing data analysis (preferable but not limited to electronic communications, anomaly detection or fraud prevention)
  • Strong logical reasoning and analytical skills
  • Excellent English communication, both written and spoken
  • Able to operate in a fast environment
  • Experience with Python

Why should you join Proton?

  • Be part of a movement -Proton is not just a product or service but a community-driven movement united by a shared vision of online freedom. Our services are open source, audited, and supported by community contributions. We give back to our community by maintaining core encryption libraries and by supporting other organizations furthering the same goals as us.Proton is free, open source, neutral, independent, and community first, while remaining financially sustainable.
  • Work with smart and dedicated people -Our team is diverse, collaborative, and tight-knit with people coming from all walks of life, including many of the world's top academic institutions and organizations, such as MIT, Harvard, Stanford, Caltech, Cambridge, and ETH.
  • Join a strong brand -Our encrypted email service - ProtonMail - has grown to be a staple of online security and privacy. Proton has been featured in multiple popular television and film productions, such as Mr. Robot, Knives Out, Sounds of Metal, and more.
  • Grow with us -We're one of Europe's fastest-growing startups, doubling in size every year. Our growth gives you limitless career and educational opportunities as well as the opportunity to work side-by-side with many world-leading experts in their fields.
  • Have your voice heard -We value your opinion and encourage you to speak up and share your ideas and thoughts. At Proton, no problem is someone else's problem. We collectively strive to do the right thing and be the undisputed best in the world at everything we do.
  • Benefits –these vary by location and type of contract but expect support on your vacation, parental leave, refreshment if working from the office, learning and development opportunities, equity for shared success, flexible working hours and remote work, company events and team building activities.
