About the team and the role

The Customer Security team protects millions of eBay customers from digital identity crime, helping people buy and sell with confidence.
We are a product engineering team specialising in cybercrime, digital identity, and customer protection. Our mission is to understand how customer identities are compromised, turn intelligence and industry research into actionable insights, and build security capabilities that protect customers across eBay.

Our work spans consumer identity and authentication security, cybercrime intelligence, device trust, identity compromise detection, and emerging technologies such as AI agents. We combine industry and product research, adversarial thinking, software engineering, and large-scale data systems to deliver measurable customer protection. We partner closely with Identity Engineering, Authentication, Fraud, Trust, and Risk teams to make these capabilities available throughout the customer journey.
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer with strong engineering fundamentals, substantial consumer identity or related security expertise, and the technical leadership to help shape the future of Customer Intelligence.

This role goes beyond researching threats or implementing predefined solutions. You will assess how consumer identity security is evolving across the industry, evaluate products and approaches adopted by other major consumer platforms, and develop evidence-backed views on what eBay should build, improve, or adopt. You will turn those recommendations into technical direction, engineering priorities, and production capabilities.
You will provide hands-on technical leadership across complex initiatives, from identifying a problem and evaluating options through architecture, experimentation, delivery, and adoption. You will challenge assumptions constructively, influence decisions across partner teams, and help other engineers deliver effective solutions at consumer-platform scale.

What you will bring:

Experience with cybercrime intelligence, device intelligence, fraud and abuse prevention, or AI and agent security is valuable. We expect depth in at least one relevant area and curiosity across adjacent domains, not expertise in every technology.
