Description
Have you ever wondered how a suspect item or service listed online has nothing but 5-star reviews? Are you curious how those fake reviews feed into broader abusive activity? Are you interested in applying your analytical and investigative skills to identify bad actors posting fake reviews for profit and bring them to justice? If so, this is the job for you!
We are looking for a talented investigator or analyst to help develop and execute Amazon’s efforts to combat bad actors posting fake reviews on our store.

Candidates must be mission-oriented and able to pursue projects to completion with a minimum of input or direction, take initiative in creating and improving work processes, and work effectively on a variety of simultaneously active matters in a fast-paced environment. We are looking for someone with strong judgment who can think big about these efforts while delivering results to deter and prevent this malicious activity.
