About the role

  • Serve as the primary Trust & Safety liaison to Product and Engineering for new product development, ensuring safety considerations are included early in specs, roadmap conversations, and launch planning.
  • Establish a forward-looking roadmap for Trust & Safety product needs, including internal tooling, AI safety capabilities, detection systems, queue routing, escalation infrastructure, reporting, and risk dashboards.
  • Act as the Trust & Safety product counterpart in roadmap reviews, product planning rituals, spec reviews, and launch readiness checks.

Responsibilities

  • Own the Product Risk Assessment process end-to-end for new feature launches, including intake, scoping, risk categorization, mitigation tracking, launch readiness, and post-launch review.
  • Lead Trust & Safety product thinking for AI-adjacent product work, including harm framework operationalization, launch readiness, tooling needs, queue impact, escalation paths, moderator training, and communications posture.
  • Build and maintain repeatable launch readiness frameworks for Trust & Safety, including checklists, templates, trackers, and feedback loops from post-launch moderation and operational observations.
  • Partner with Product, Engineering, Policy, Legal, Comms, and Operations to identify risks, define mitigations, and clarify ownership across complex or ambiguous product launches.
  • Help move Trust & Safety from a reactive review function to a proactive product partner embedded in how Bluesky builds.
  • Can build systems from scratch: intake processes, risk assessment frameworks, launch readiness checklists, product requirements, trackers, and cross-functional operating rhythms.
  • Are comfortable working across Product, Engineering, Policy, Legal, Comms, and Operations, and can drive clarity when ownership is ambiguous.
  • Are thoughtful about AI safety and can reason about how AI-enabled features may create new forms of user harm, abuse, manipulation, operational burden, or regulatory risk.
  • Communicate clearly in writing and can create crisp documentation that helps teams make decisions.
  • Are excited to help build the safety foundations for an open social protocol.
