The T&S Network estimates this role to be P1, Junior / Specialist. We don't yet know typical pay for this level in Australia. Most of our pay data comes from US roles. If you work in Trust & Safety in Australia, add your pay to help others. Key skills at this level: builds and ships detection or enforcement systems in production, evaluates a classifier on the metric that matches the harm, not on accuracy, and works with labeled data of uneven and adversarial quality.
Why this level
Estimated from the posting rather than stated by the employer: an early-career or graduate seat · the title reads as P2.
