Remote Senior Web Browser Researcher for Fraud Detection

Fingerprint; United States; Remote; USD 180.000 - 240.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Fingerprint is a remote-first company focused on detecting online fraud through advanced device intelligence. We are seeking a Senior Web Browser Researcher to push accuracy and stability of our core identification and fraud-detection products, owning findings from first signal through engineering implementation.

The role involves researching device-identification and bot-detection techniques across modern browsers, building research tooling, and translating browser changes into product impact.

Qualifikationen

• Deep understanding of web platform fundamentals, browser internals, and web security concepts.
• Strong proficiency in JavaScript.
• Ability to conduct open-ended research in browser technologies.

Aufgaben

• Independently research novel device-identification, visitor-identification, Smart Signals, and bot-detection techniques across modern browsers.
• Own findings end to end: assess whether a signal is genuinely actionable within real-world constraints, back the assessment with data, and deliver a clear recommendation with impact estimates.
• Stay engaged through implementation — review engineering's changes against the research intent, answer questions as they surface, and advise on edge cases the write-up couldn't fully specify.
• Build and maintain research tooling (observers, fuzzers, scrapers) that surfaces new signals and detects browser platform changes automatically, rather than relying on manual investigation.
• Track browser changes ahead of release — following beta/canary/dev channels and spec/RFC discussions — and translate them into product impact and action.
• Produce and share structured, actionable research articles and outputs — internal write-ups, articles for product and engineering, proofs of concept, and experimental signal implementations with their analyses — written so partners can act on them directly.
