The company is looking to solve high-harm, high-risk issues on its platform where traditional detection methods are insufficient. This involves developing proactive risk detection systems and scaling them to identify harmful content and behavioral leakage.
Requirements
- 2+ years of experience building and contributing to applications, with a solid understanding of the systems you've worked on.
- Fluency in Python, and proficiency in other modern programming languages (e.g., Go, JavaScript) is a plus.
- Proficiency in relational database technologies (e.g., MySQL) and NoSQL database technologies (e.g., MongoDB).
- Prior experience in Frontend development, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), Data Engineering, or Machine Learning.
- Strong foundational knowledge in software engineering principles, data structures, and algorithms.
- Working knowledge of cloud platforms (e.g., OCI, GCP, AWS) and associated technologies (e.g., Kubernetes, networking).
- Curiosity and eagerness to learn about Large Language Models (LLMs) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), and how they can be applied to build more predictive and intelligent systems or exposure to ML- or LLM-powered internal tools (e.g., RAG pipelines, classifier integrations)
Responsibilities
- Build and implement compelling and usable tools with technologies like React, Python, and Golang to improve consistency and efficiency across US Trust & Safety.
- Collaborate directly with users to inform, refine, and validate concepts, translating user needs into robust and scalable features from MVP to production.
- Develop and deploy lightweight models in Python and SQL for our Detection Engineering program, helping to catch high-harm content and behavioral leakage at scale.
- Contribute to the exploration and application of AI/LLM technologies to enhance our proactive detection capabilities and reduce the technical lift of current bespoke systems.
- Analyze metrics and derive insights to continuously raise the effectiveness of our tooling and detection solutions.
Other
- This role may be exposed to harmful content as part of their core day-to-day functions, as well as in project work; in response to escalation requests; or by chance.
- A proactive approach to problem-solving, with the ability to work effectively both independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.
- Your ability to work in a high tempo environment, adapt, respond to day-to-day challenges of the role.
- Your resilience and commitment to self-care to manage the emotional demands of the role.
- This role requires the ability to work with and support systems designed to protect sensitive data and information. As such, this role will be subject to strict national security-related screening.
