Requirements

Candidates should possess a strong software engineering foundation and enjoy owning systems end-to-end, from infrastructure and data ingestion to frontend tooling. Experience building and operating large-scale data pipelines or search/retrieval systems is required, along with proficiency in Python and/or TypeScript. Familiarity with tools like Spark, Kafka, Flink, data warehouses, and SQL is expected. Prior experience working on engineering for high-severity harms is a plus, as is prior knowledge of child-safety-specific challenges. Candidates should be energized by working at the frontier of AI capabilities, integrating new models and APIs into practical systems, and should be comfortable navigating ambiguity and open-ended problem spaces with evolving goals. A product-minded approach, designing with user workflows in mind, and iterating quickly based on feedback are also valued. Candidates should understand this role involves exposure to sensitive and egregious content.

Responsibilities

The Fullstack Engineer will prototype, build, and maintain intelligence systems that detect, triage, and enable efficient human review of possible high severity harm. They will work closely with operators and investigators, designing and delivering systems to enhance their speed, accuracy, and safety. Responsibilities include developing across the stack (UIs, services, pipelines), interacting with partners across Product Policy, Platform Integrity, Safety Systems, and Research, and contributing to the team's technical strategy, especially for child safety related tools and systems. The role also involves reporting on impact in a data-driven fashion and adapting quickly in ambiguous, fast-moving environments to deliver well-crafted, reliable tooling for high-severity safety work.
