Responsibilities

We’re looking for a Safety Operations Lead who will focus on making our products safe by default while supporting fast product iteration and ambitious ideas.

  • Review flagged content, safety escalations, and account-level abuse signals daily. This is a standing responsibility, not a rotation: you'll triage cases, apply policy judgment…
  • Use patterns from that casework to design and refine safety policy across the product stack, working with engineering, legal, safety research, and security stakeholders.
  • Build and maintain tooling and automation that make your own casework faster and more consistent: triage agents, ban/recovery workflows, abuse detection frameworks and templates.
  • Partner with product teams to embed safety into the product experience: model refusals, content flagging, account review, and safety protections, informed by what you're seeing…
  • Improve observability and detection for safety-relevant events (model safety trends, abuse patterns, malicious behavior in production), so the next round of cases surfaces faster…

What they're looking for

  • 7+ years in an operational trust & safety, content moderation, or fraud/abuse ops role with direct, recurring responsibility for a case queue.
  • Experience owning policy definition, operationalization, and enforcement end to end, evidenced by specific policies or enforcement programs you've built or run.
  • Direct case experience with at least one of: cybersecurity abuse, CBRN-relevant risk, youth safety, or prompt injection, in a production environment.
  • Working familiarity with model safety and abuse risk categories (jailbreaks, prompt injection, scaled abuse) and how to identify and mitigate them in a live product, evidenced by…
  • Practical experience using AI tools (Claude, Codex, or similar) to build or accelerate operational workflows, not just as a general user of these tools.
