"description": " As Head of Anti-Cheat at Embark, you will own how we keep THE FINALS, ARC Raiders and our future games fair. You lead a team of highly skilled security engineers, data scientists and ML engineers, and you report to our CTO. You set the direction, decide what we build, buy and partner on, and make sure players can trust both our games and what we tell them about cheating. You don t need to be the deepest technical expert in the room. You partner with strong tech leads, and you lead with product thinking, clear judgement and genuine care for your team.

Example of responsibilities Leadership Team Lead, coach and grow a team of senior specialists, and build an environment where they do the best work of their careers.

Own hiring, team structure and headcount planning.

We would love if you have A creative and curious mind.

A hands-on background in security, data science/ML or backend engineering. You won t be coding, but you re at home in a design review.

Experience owning a product or outcome end to end, including strategy and partner decisions.

Experience working with vendors and external partners.

Comfort communicating with players or the public on sensitive topics.
