Safety is core to our mission, and you'll help uphold policy enforcement so that our users can safely interact with and build on top of our products in a harmless, helpful, and honest way.

Important context for this role: In this position you may be exposed to and engage with explicit content spanning a range of topics, including those of a violent, technical, or psychologically disturbing nature. This role may require responding to escalations during weekends and holidays.

Key responsibilities

  • Triage and escalate novel, ambiguous, or high-severity cases to appropriate stakeholders
  • Provide detailed feedback to the Safeguards policy design team on policy gaps surfaced through real enforcement scenarios
  • Partner with Engineering and Data Science teams by surfacing detection model errors and quality signals from review to improve precision and recall
  • Maintain high accuracy and consistency standards across review queues
  • Keep up to date with emerging AI policy enforcement best practices, threat actor tactics, and the evolving cyber threat landscape, using these to inform enforcement decisions

Minimum Qualifications

  • Experience in cybersecurity, including knowledge of offensive techniques, exploit development, malware analysis, or vulnerability research
  • Experience performing content review, abuse investigations, or policy enforcement at volume
  • Proficiency in SQL and/or Python for data analysis and threat detection
  • Experience identifying emerging risks and communicating findings to a diverse set of stakeholders, such as Product, Policy, Engineering, and Legal teams
  • Experience working with generative AI products, including writing effective prompts for content review and enforcement

Preferred qualifications

  • Experience in trust & safety, abuse investigations, cybersecurity investigations, or threat intelligence in a technology or AI company
  • Experience with large language models and an understanding of how AI technology could be misused for cyber operations
  • Experience operating within abuse monitoring programs or enforcement review systems
  • Understanding of the challenges involved in implementing product policies at scale, including in the content moderation space
