Youth Safety Analyst (Long-Term Containment), Trust & Safety

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

Durable containment of youth-safety harms on the platform, run by the Long-Term Containment team in the Contain phase of the risk lifecycle. The team focuses on thoroughness: taking a single escalation and expanding it into the wider violating cluster, network, or behaviour pattern so the same harm stops resurfacing, and feeding findings upstream to root-cause fixes.

• Child safety and grooming

What you'd do

• Look into repeat youth-safety escalations on Accounts, Search, Video, Photo, Audio, LIVE and Comments to find where enforcement is slipping.
• Expand individual escalation signals into broader violating clusters, networks, or behaviour patterns and take durable containment action.
• Build and maintain sweeps, trend rules, seed banks and automation-driven detection, and track their precision and recall over time.
• Write scripts and methods to detect risk signals and clusters where no existing tooling does so.
• Run large-scale data queries to size harm, spot emerging patterns, check enforcement impact, and decide where to focus next.

What it asks for

• Strong investigative critical thinking, able to separate one-off incidents from systemic patterns.
• Proficiency in SQL or equivalent querying and working with large datasets and visualization tools.
• Solid understanding of the T&S risk lifecycle of detection, containment and prevention.
• Experience with root cause analysis and turning findings into enforcement actions, rules or recommendations.
• Clear written and verbal communication for technical and non-technical audiences.

Worth knowing

• Work involves sensitive youth-safety content and requires commitment to sustaining well-being in emotionally demanding work.
