About the role

  • This team is where reports and signals become decisions.
  • Most safety reviews are now decided by automation instead of a person, at a cost per review that has fallen by more than 90% on mature workflows and at precision and recall above trained human reviewers.
  • What's left to automate is the ambiguous, high-stakes end, and with appeals arriving by the hundreds of thousands, getting users a fast and fair answer matters as much as catching harm.

Responsibilities

  • Lead three squads, Review, Enforce, and Tooling through their tech leads, setting direction across automated review, enforcement, and appeals
  • Own the tooling our investigators depend on, cutting complex investigations from hours to minutes, and make enforcement traceable enough that anyone can see how a user reached their current state
  • Carry regulatory and child-safety compliance work alongside the roadmap, set the engineering bar with your leads, and hire and grow the team
  • Experienced working alongside operations or human-in-the-loop teams. You understand quality assurance, reviewer calibration, and appeals, and you build tools that respect the people using them
  • We build the LLM pipelines that review reported content, the systems that carry enforcement out, the appeals path users take when we get it wrong, and the tooling our investigators and content reviewers work in every day.
  • Building internal tools where operations or review teams are the primary user

Requirements

  • 5+ years as a software engineer with a solid backend and distributed systems background, and 2+ years managing engineers
  • Legal deadlines, serious incidents, and regulator attention come with this job, and you can hold a quality line while shipping against a clock

Compensation

  • The US base salary range for this full-time position is $248,000 to $310,000 + equity + benefits.

Benefits

  • Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration across engineering, machine learning, data science, policy, legal, and product, and practical about throughput and unit economics

Company info

  • nine engineers across three squads, each with an experienced tech lead.
  • One builds the automated review systems; another owns enforcement, warnings, and the infrastructure behind appeals; and the final owns tooling that enables analysts to be effective.
  • You'll report to the Director of Engineering for Safety and work closely with our content review operations, machine learning, product, policy, and legal teams.
  • The charter is larger than the current headcount, and we expect the role to grow with it.
  • Discord has a highly engaged community of millions of daily active users who use the platform for many different reasons, but there's one thing that nearly everyone does: play video games.
  • Discord plays a uniquely important role in the future of gaming, and we are focused on making it easier and more fun for people to hang out before, during, and after playing games.
