The role, in T&S terms

Written by the T&S Network from Cinder's posting.

Builds the software trust and safety teams use to write and enforce policy, run AI agents against abuse, investigate threats, and file NCMEC reports for large internet platforms. The work centers on review queue tools, a durable workflow engine for moderation pipelines, and analytics that show T&S leads how their programs perform.

What you'd do

  • Build AI agent features that review content against customer policies, moving from hardcoded prompts to a configurable agent spec.
  • Create new workflow nodes that customers wire together for moderation pipelines, NCMEC reporting, and enforcement actions.
  • Ship features for the review queue tools moderators and investigators use daily, such as decision overrides and skills-based routing.
  • Develop T&S analytics dashboards on a React frontend backed by a Django/GraphQL API.
  • Build Salesforce and Zendesk integrations so moderators can contact users and view conversation history in Cinder.
  • Define SLIs, improve pipeline throughput, and take oncall for systems where downtime stops moderation.

What it asks for

  • 5+ years building production software across a full stack, including Django or similar backend, React or similar frontend, relational databases, and message or event systems.
  • Experience designing high-throughput, data-intensive systems and reasoning about pipeline throughput and latency.
  • Experience identifying a customer problem and delivering an end-to-end solution from data model through API to UI.
  • Fluency with AI coding tools and a clear point of view on how they change development (preferred in the sense of being expected, not optional).
  • Clear written communication in PRs, Slack, and customer-facing documentation.
  • Experience in Trust & Safety or abuse prevention (preferred).
  • Experience at a startup or early-stage company (preferred).

Worth knowing

  • Oncall responsibility for systems where downtime stops moderation.
