Lead Analytics Engineer Identity & Trust and Safety

Scribd, Inc. is on a mission to advance human understanding. Our four products — Scribd®, Slideshare®, Everand™, and Fable — help billions of people across the globe move beyond access and into insight, application, and expertise.

We support a culture where our employees can be real and be bold; where we debate and commit as we embrace plot twists; and where every employee is empowered to take action as we prioritize the customer.

We believe the best work happens when individual flexibility is balanced with meaningful community connection. Scribd Flex empowers employees to choose the workstyle and location that support their best performance, while committing to intentional in‑person moments that strengthen collaboration and culture. Occasional in‑person attendance is required for all Scribd, Inc. employees, regardless of location.

At Scribd, Inc., we hire for “GRIT.” Traditionally defined as the intersection of passion and perseverance toward long‑term goals, GRIT reflects the mindset we expect from every employee. For us, it also serves as a practical framework for how we work: setting and achieving Goals, delivering Results within your role, contributing Innovative ideas and solutions, and strengthening the broader Team through collaboration and attitude.

• You are equally comfortable as the modeler and the analyst. You can build the pipeline, define the metric, and defend the number in a room full of executives.
• You are skeptical by default. When payment success rate drops four points, your instinct is to go find the field that changed meaning, not to write the narrative. You have opinions about how payments data should be structured to prevent misleading narratives.
• You are pragmatic. You ask what the right next version is, and you use AI where it creates measurable value.
• You communicate early and plainly, and you write things down. Methodology and model documentation are part of the deliverable.
