About the role
- We're hiring a Member of Technical Staff (Safety Generalist) to join our Safety team.
- This is not a pure ML role and not a pure ops role.
- We're looking for someone who can do both.
Responsibilities
- Design, train, and ship content moderation classifiers and detection pipelines.
- Own safety systems end-to-end: from model development through production monitoring and incident response.
- Partner with policy and legal to operationalize safety standards into scalable systems.
- Contribute to the safety roadmap and help define what we build next.
- you'll design and ship classifiers, pipelines, and tooling that detect and respond to harmful content and behavior on the platform - and then own those systems in production.
- You'll work closely with engineering, policy, and leadership to define what "safe" looks like at Hark and build the infrastructure to enforce it.
- This is a build-and-operate role: you'll design and ship classifiers, pipelines, and tooling that detect and respond to harmful content and behavior on the platform - and then own those systems in production.
- Hark is an artificial intelligence company building advanced, personalized intelligence.
- We're pairing that intelligence with next-generation hardware to create a universal interface between humans and machines.
Requirements
- 3-7 years of experience in trust & safety, content moderation, or a closely related field.
- Comfort operating production systems - you've held a pager, triaged incidents, and shipped fixes under pressure.
- Strong problem-solving instincts and the ability to work across ambiguous, high-stakes problems.
Nice to have
- Experience at a T&S-focused company (Cinder, Hive AI, Thorn, Modulate, Discord Safety, etc.).
- Familiarity with multimodal content (text, voice, image) moderation.
- Background in CSAM detection, integrity engineering, or platform abuse.
- The pay offered for this position may vary based on several individual factors, including job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
