Take initiative and work autonomously from day one, prioritizing learning and contribution while leaving ego aside.
Strong experience in Python, including asynchronous Python; proven track record of building production Python applications.
Strong background in backend development including setting up and maintaining production backend services and data pipelines.
Familiarity with common software and system design patterns and infrastructure including APIs, cloud infrastructure tools, storage solutions, data structures etc.
Knowledge about test design and security fundamentals.
Strong candidates will also have a mix of experience working with:
Backend safety infrastructure & tooling
Trust and safety, integrity or AI safety teams
SQL and data analysis tools;
React
Technical investigators and machine learning engineers to integrate ML/AI models to detect, monitor and enforce on abusive content
High-velocity innovation: Rapid experimentation, lean autonomous teams, and minimal bureaucracy.
A truly global team: Collaboration with teammates across 30+ countries, a global customer footprint and office hubs in New York, London and Warsaw. Annual company offsite for the whole team to get together (the last one in Croatia!)
