We have always worked hard to protect our users and our platform, and now we're looking for an expert to deepen and accelerate that work across the entire company. This role is a good fit for an backend-leaning engineer who has developed a specialization in trust and safety, or a T&S engineer who thinks and builds like an platform engineer. It's a fast-paced, high-ownership role in an environment where we move quickly, set ambitious goals, and hold a high bar for speed and technical excellence. You'll spend most of your time on T&S, including detecting, investigating, and mitigating risks including phishing, spam, objectionable content, scraping, and other forms of fraud and abuse, and some time on product infrastructure, reliability, performance, and developer velocity. Our stack is React (web app), React Native (mobile app), Node.js, and Typescript, running on GCP with a serverless architecture. What You'll Do * Architect and implement AI-powered systems for real-time decision-making and policy enforcement at scale, including the scaffolding to improve those systems over time * Build observability tooling so the team can monitor abuse trends and respond to novel attack patterns quickly * Balance risk and user experience: proactively monitor the impact of protective systems on trusted users, ensuring interventions deliver more value than friction * Collaborate deeply across functions: + Partner with Operations to define policy, translating ambiguous high-judgement calls into rules that are enforceable at scale + Empower Support to handle enforcement - build out tooling, escalation paths, and appeal workflows the team and users can rely on + Work with Data Science to build sophisticated, trustworthy threat and anomaly detection + Join forces with Product Engineering and Design to keep privacy and safety considerations at the core of our product * Participate in an on-call rotation for Trust & Safety incidents and close the loop to prevent the next one * Design, build, and maintain scalable, secure infrastructure across GCP's ecosystem (Cloud Functions, Firestore, Cloud Tasks, Redis, Pub/Sub, etc.) * Collaborate with other engineers to design performant APIs, databases, and backend systems * Drive the Trust & Safety roadmap, balancing safety investment against the broader needs of the business * Join an ambitious team that moves fast, works hard, and loves what we build - and help shape the foundations and culture of T&S at Partiful! ## Related Videos - [Build and Deploy a Fullstack App with Open Source Tooling](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/775-build-and-deploy-a-fullstack-app-with-open-source-tooling) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [From Doubt to Confidence: How Sentry Uses Verdaccio to Bulletproof SDK Releases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/739-from-doubt-to-confidence-how-sentry-uses-verdaccio-to-bulletproof-sdk-releases) - [Reducing LLM Calls with Vector Search Patterns - Raphael De Lio (Redis)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1714-reducing-llm-calls-with-vector-search-patterns-raphael-de-lio-redis) - [Meet Your New BFF: Backend to Frontend without the Duct Tape](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/682-meet-your-new-bff-backend-to-frontend-without-the-duct-tape) - [Nest.js - TypeScript in the backend can also be clean](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1033-nest-js-typescript-in-the-backend-can-also-be-clean) ## Related Articles - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Trustworthy AI Starts at Deployment: 5 Checks Before You Ship](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/753-trustworthy-ai-starts-at-deployment-5-checks-before-you-ship) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [The Best X (Twitter) Accounts for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/294-the-best-x-twitter-accounts-for-developers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline)
