Trust & Safety Engineer

About the role

We're looking for an experienced trust and safety engineer to join our team.

Over the past year, we've grown from a private beta serving hundreds of active users to a hot AI tool growing faster everyday with millions of users hitting our servers from around the world at all hours of the day. Gamma.app never sleeps!

This position is an onsite role in San Francisco with a hybrid flexible work culture. You'll be expected to come in to our Potrero Hill office 3 days per week with a schedule that works best for you.

We're looking for candidates from diverse backgrounds who are interested in:

• Building product features, platforms, and tooling to protect Gamma's platform from phishing, objectionable content, spam, account takeovers, and other fraud and abuse

• Ensuring these systems scale to millions of users while maintaining high performance and availability

• Moving fast and shipping to production daily

• Working fully across our React Express NodeJS Postgres stack, mostly written in Typescript

• Contributing to the vision and roadmaps for long-term Trust & Safety and articulating Gamma's overall approach and philosophy on Trust Engineering

Above all, we're looking for someone with a passion for keeping Gamma safe and secure, writing code, collaborating with various engineering teams and product managers, and solving new problems as Gamma grows. We care as much about your attitude and curiosity as your technical knowledge, and less about how long your resume is.

What you'll do:

• Identify the largest gaps in our existing infrastructure for protection against fraud and abuse

• Propose, validate, and socialize potential trust and safety improvements

• Implement improvements while partnering with other engineers and product managers

• Ship to production daily across our React Express NodeJS Postgres stack

• Develop and maintain systems to detect and prevent malicious activity

• Help build a scalable infrastructure that can support our rapid growth

• Debug thorny and complex security issues without much to go on

• Read and suggest improvements to our trust and safety architecture

Our ideal candidate has:

• 5+ years experience as a software engineer, preferably with a focus on abuse/spam/fraud detection and prevention

• A degree in computer science or related field

• Strong proficiency in at least one programming language

• Experience developing & implementing trust and safety features such as rate limiting, content detection, anomaly detection, and fraud detection

• Experience writing and maintaining highly-available web APIs

• Experience with event streaming systems like Redis Pubsub or Apache Kafka

• Experience working in large complex production scale codebases

• Passion for security and protecting users from bad actors
