Fraud Squad Applications Are Open
Fraud Squad applications are open. The form is here: forms.hackclub.com/fraud. Read the intro on the form, it tells you what the job actually is, and I'd rather you decide it's not for you before filling anything out than three weeks in into the role. If it still sounds like your kind of thing, I'd love to have you on the team. Submissions close next Wednesday, July 22nd at 15:00 Eastern Time. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me (Rowan) on Slack.
