About the role

Architect and scale Gamma's trust infrastructure to protect 70M+ users, building distributed systems for real-time content scanning, anomaly detection, rate limiting, and high-volume event pipelines while balancing security with user experience.

Responsibilities

  • Own detection and prevention systems for fraud, abuse, spam, and malicious content across millions of daily users
  • Design and build scalable trust infrastructure including rate limiting, content scanning, anomaly detection, and account security
  • Architect distributed systems, APIs, and high-volume event pipelines that power real-time abuse detection at Gamma's scale
  • Help define and evolve the core data model and storage systems that underpin trust and safety across the product
  • Build tools that empower internal support teams to investigate and act on suspicious or malicious activity
  • Leverage AI/LLM-based detection to stay ahead of AI-generated abuse — phishing, fraud, and malicious content that's increasingly indistinguishable from legitimate activity
  • Build automated triage and investigation workflows that let a small team operate at the scale of a much larger one
  • Investigate and resolve complex security incidents with limited context
  • Partner with engineering and product to balance security with user experience
  • Shape Gamma's long-term trust and safety strategy and technical roadmap

Qualifications

  • Strong systems thinking and experience building highly available web APIs
  • Strong proficiency in backend technologies (Node.js, Python, or similar) and databases (PostgreSQL, Redis)
  • Experience with event streaming systems (Redis, Kafka, or similar) and high-volume event pipelines
  • Hands-on experience implementing trust features like rate limiting, content detection, and fraud prevention
  • Track record shipping high-quality, complex applications under tight timelines
  • Product-minded approach with understanding of how technical decisions impact user experience and business metrics
  • Passion for security, user protection, and solving problems at scale
