About the role
- You'll architect and scale the trust infrastructure that keeps 70M+ users safe while preserving the creative freedom that makes Gamma magical.
- This means designing distributed systems for real-time content scanning, anomaly detection, and rate limiting
- helping define and evolve the core data model and storage systems behind abuse detection
Responsibilities
- Own detection and prevention systems for fraud, abuse, spam, and malicious content across millions of daily users
- Design and build scalable trust infrastructure including rate limiting, content scanning, anomaly detection, and account security
- Build tools that empower internal support teams to investigate and act on suspicious or malicious activity
- Build automated triage and investigation workflows that let a small team operate at the scale of a much larger one
- Partner with engineering and product to balance security with user experience
- 5+ years of backend engineering experience building scalable, high-traffic production systems
- Strong systems thinking and experience building highly available web APIs
Requirements
- A small, sharp T&S team equipped with frontier models can now build detection, triage, and response systems that would have required a team five times the size just a couple of years ago.
- Strong proficiency in backend technologies (Node.js, Python, or similar) and databases (PostgreSQL, Redis)
- Experience with event streaming systems (Redis, Kafka, or similar) and high-volume event pipelines
Nice to have
- Experience with AI/LLMs for content moderation, or familiarity with TypeScript, Prisma, Apollo GraphQL, or AWS

- Experience with real-time collaboration systems
