Google posted a new job opening to become a spam fighter at the company. The job title is a Search Quality Analyst and it seems to be an in-person job at the GooglePlex in Mountain View, California.
Danny Sullivan, the Google Search Liaison posted this listing on Twitter and wrote "Looking for an exciting job fighting spam in Google search results? There's a position open that we're recruiting for now."
Former Googler, Pedro Dias, had this job in the past and he said "This was one of the most fun jobs I had back in the day. If you enjoy being at the forefront on web trends and like investigative work on abuse and debugging quality issues, this is a must."
The job description says:
