Owns anti-cheat and integrity for MrBeast's large-scale mobile prize competitions: building server-authoritative scoring, fraud and abuse detection, mobile app hardening and attestation, telemetry pipelines, and live-incident response. Hands-on work in Python/TypeScript across mobile clients, backend services, and major clouds.
Beast Industries is a multifaceted media and entertainment company founded by Jimmy Donaldson, popularly known as MrBeast, the most watched person in the world. Renowned for revolutionizing digital content creation, Beast Industries encompasses a diverse portfolio of ventures that extend far beyond its origins on YouTube. With a mission to entertain, inspire, and create significant social impact, Beast Industries operates across various domains including digital media, philanthropy, consumer products, and innovative business initiatives. At Beast Industries, we believe in the transformative power of digital media and its potential to entertain, educate, and effect positive change. Our commitment to innovation, creativity, and philanthropy drives us to explore new frontiers, create unforgettable experiences, and build a legacy that inspires future generations.
About The Role
At MrBeast, we build global digital experiences that bring together content, commerce, community, and interactive entertainment. We're launching mobile competitions at a scale no one has attempted — imagine a million players competing in a live elimination bracket where one winner takes the prize. Nothing about that works unless every player trusts the game is fair.
Who You Are
We're looking for a Senior Anti-Cheat Security Engineer to own that trust. You'll protect our games, players, tournaments, prize economies, and supporting infrastructure from cheating, fraud, abuse, and exploitation. This is a hands-on builder role: secure game and tournament architecture, automated detection at massive scale, and rapid response when adversaries adapt.
What You'll Do
You'll partner with gameplay, platform, mobile, data, fraud, and security teams to design protections across mobile clients, backend services, APIs, and real-time telemetry — and you'll help set the integrity foundation for prize competitions watched by hundreds of millions of people.
If you enjoy adversarial problems where the attacker has real money on the line, this role is for you.
