About The Position

Call of Duty is one of the most iconic and successful video game franchises in the world, delivering unforgettable experiences to millions of players every day. At the heart of that experience is fair play—and that’s where the Ricochet Anti-Cheat team comes in. Our mission is to protect the integrity of the online experience, ensuring every player enjoys a level playing field. As the team’s Senior Product Manager, you will play a critical role in defining the strategic vision of anti-cheat in Call of Duty and ensure the success of our initiatives. We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager to lead key initiatives in game security, anti-cheat, and player integrity.

You’ll work closely with engineering, data science, threat intelligence, and operations teams to define strategy, prioritize investments, and deliver solutions that detect, prevent, and respond to abuse at scale. This is a high-impact role requiring strong product judgment, comfort with ambiguity, and the ability to make decisions in a fast-moving, high-stakes environment.

• Collaborate with threat intelligence and operations teams to understand emerging threats and translate them into product requirements
• Design enforcement strategies that balance effectiveness, player experience, and false positive risk
• Use data, experimentation, and live operations feedback to continuously improve systems
