Senior Product Manager - Ad Fraud (Application Security)

Cloudflare•Austin, TX

8d•Hybrid

About The Position

Ad Fraud is a pervasive threat on the Internet, and has been since programmatic advertising first started. However, the ways that Users and Consumers interact with the internet is changing, and the systems of the past to protect against fraud may no longer be optimal. At Cloudflare, we believe that it is time for the industry to rethink their approach to solving this problem. And with our visibility into 22.5% of the world’s websites supported with our best-in-class Application Security and Bot Management solutions, we have the visibility and technology to reinvent the way the industry solves this problem. In this role, you will own the product vision and roadmap for Cloudflare's next-gen IVT and Ad Fraud detection and data products for the advertising industry. You will help invent the future of how the industry looks at this space, and translate Cloudflare's massive network signals — bot scores, threat intelligence, traffic quality classifications — into data products that help advertisers, agencies, publishers, and verification vendors fight fraud and improve measurement accuracy. You will work at, and develop, the intersection of Cloudflare's security and performance platform and the ad tech ecosystem.
