Requirements

• Direct experience tackling free-tier abuse, fraud detection, or fake-account / bot farming at scale
• 6+ years of backend software engineering experience building production systems at scale
• Strong production backend experience: distributed systems, APIs, data pipelines, and Python expertise (asynchronous Python, backend frameworks)
• Infrastructure & DevOps proficiency: cloud platforms (AWS/GCP), containerization (Docker/K8s), CI/CD pipelines
• Observability mindset with experience in monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana) and building observable systems
• Track record of taking products or systems from 0→1 with measurable impact, including deploying or working alongside ML/AI systems in production

Bonus

• Trust & Safety, Content Moderation, or Integrity engineering experience
• MLOps experience: deployment, monitoring, and versioning of ML models
• Experience with SQL, data analysis tools, real-time streaming systems (Kafka, Redis), or event-driven architectures
• Familiarity with React or modern frontend frameworks

What you'll be doing

• Design and build scalable backend infrastructure for abuse detection, deploying AI/ML models into production systems
• Architect robust APIs, data pipelines, and service architectures supporting real-time and batch moderation workflows
