The opportunity
Abuse Research Group (ARG) handles proactive threat hunting and adversary behavior analysis across Stripe products. Rather than reacting to alerts, the team maps end-to-end fraud and abuse paths, validates novel attack vectors, and identifies product conditions that enable fraud.
What you'll do
Proactive Threat Hunting & Kill Chain Analysis: Formulate hypotheses and conduct iterative threat hunting operations across Stripe systems and external data.
FT3 Taxonomy: Apply and enrich the FT3 framework across empirical datasets and incidents, standardizing threat intelligence across kill chain phases and targeted API endpoints.
Threat Intelligence & Signal Expansion: Partner with teams like Fraud Intelligence to integrate, curate, and automate threat feeds into engineering workflows.
Cross-Functional Advisories & Strategic Controls: Translate raw research and retrospective findings into actionable threat advisories and control recommendations (policy, technical systems, support workflows, and detection mechanisms) for stakeholders across Fraud, Risk, Onboarding, and Security.
Agentic Testing & Adversary Simulation: Utilize agentic automated testing frameworks to simulate adversary TTPs, validate whether deployed controls interrupt empirical kill chains, and generate regression scenarios to exercise controls.
What they're looking for
- + years of experience conducting threat intelligence, threat hunting, or: technical incident response within cyber security, product abuse, or trust domains.
- + years of experience analyzing large, complex datasets using data analytics: tools to identify anomalies, map behavioral trends, and solve complex fraud problems.
- B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related technical: field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Expert proficiency in Python and SQL, with demonstrated experience using code: and scripting to automate workflows, build investigative tools, or query big data pipelines.
- Hands-on experience in log analysis (e.g., application logs, API route: telemetry, network security events), digital forensics, and cyber investigation methodologies.
- Strong communication skills with a proven ability to translate complex: technical research into clear, actionable recommendations and advisories for cross-functional partners.
- Deep technical understanding of threat actor motivations, infrastructure, and: TTPs specific to financial fraud (e.g., ATO, Card Testing, Credential Stuffing).
- Familiarity with standardized taxonomies such as FT3 or MITRE ATT&CK.
