We are focused on making it easier and more fun for people to talk and hang out before, during, and after playing games. Discord only works at our scale if people feel safe showing up - and building the systems that make that possible is exactly what our Safety engineering org does. We classify content, route reports, make and audit enforcement decisions, and build the tools our operations partners use to handle everything automation doesn't. The work is a mix of deep backend infrastructure, AI-driven automation, and tight collaboration with the people who do nuanced review.

What you'll do - Lead and grow two engineering teams covering our safety backend: the decision platform, classification
