The Mission

This role sits at the intersection of technology, safety, and social impact. You’ll help build systems that protect women throughout the dating journey—from preventing catfishing to supporting criminal and sex offender screening—by designing scalable, privacy-conscious Trust & Safety infrastructure that makes a real difference.

The Opportunity

This is a short-term, high-impact assignment for a mission-driven Full Stack Engineer who thrives in early-stage environments. You’ll be building from the ground up—no legacy systems, no rigid playbooks. You’ll own projects end to end, move quickly, and ship production-ready code that safeguards millions of users. Comfort with ambiguity, speed, and accountability is essential.

What You’ll Do

Architect and implement scalable systems that power Trust & Safety operations
Build internal dashboards and tools used by global investigation and moderation teams
Develop automated content classification, risk scoring, and abuse-detection systems to combat boots, harassment, and platform misuse
Design and maintain data pipelines to analyze user behavior and identify emerging safety threats
Partner closely with Trust & Safety stakeholders to translate evolving policies into technical solutions
Continuously improve system reliability, performance, and stability across critical user flows

Who You Are

A scrappy, hands-on builder who enjoys creating structure where none exists
Experienced working deep in the trenches of Trust & Safety, abuse prevention, or platform security
Highly aware of the balance between strong user protection and data privacy
Naturally analytical; enjoys investigating large datasets and reducing false positives
Comfortable shipping in fast-moving environments where product and policy evolve frequently

Requirements

4+ years of professional full stack engineering experience, ideally within Trust & Safety, security, abuse prevention, or platform integrity environments
Must be a U.S. citizen or Green Card holder
Proven experience architecting and implementing scalable backend systems that support Trust & Safety, moderation, or investigation workflows
Hands-on experience building internal dashboards, tools, or admin panels used by operations, moderation, or investigation teams
Demonstrated ability to design and maintain data pipelines to analyze user behavior, identify risk patterns, and surface emerging safety threats
Proven experience developing automated content moderation, risk scoring, anomaly detection, or verification systems from the ground up
Strong understanding of balancing user protection, system integrity, and data privacy when designing Trust & Safety solutions
Experience partnering with Trust & Safety, policy, or operations stakeholders to translate evolving policies into technical solutions
Ability to continuously improve system reliability, performance, and stability across critical user-facing and internal workflows
Strong ability to work independently, prioritize effectively, and deliver production-ready solutions in a lean, fast-moving startup environment
