You will apply your analytical and technical skills to identify and prevent manipulative and deceptive behaviors, contribute to the development and enforcement of spam guidelines, and partner with engineering teams to enhance search ranking algorithms. Our aim is to resolve problems at scale by working with engineers on automated product protections, Large Language Model solutions, and/or through vendor support. This role will be exposed to graphic, controversial, and/or upsetting content.
