## Description

We're looking for an experienced AI Safety Engineer to drive the deployment and operationalization of automated moderation and guardrail systems that protect our platform and users across a multimodal space, with a particular focus on detecting and preventing abuse of ElevenLabs' free tiers.

This is a product ownership role where you'll be responsible for end-to-end technical execution of our safety systems, from architecture to deployment and monitoring. You'll bridge the gap between ML research and production-grade systems, ensuring our safety infrastructure is robust, observable, and scalable.

**Responsibilities:**

- Design and build scalable backend infrastructure for abuse detection, deploying AI/ML models into production systems

- Architect robust APIs, data pipelines, and service architectures supporting real-time and batch moderation workflows

- Implement comprehensive monitoring, alerting, and observability systems; establish SLIs, SLOs, and performance benchmarks

- Partner with ML engineers to translate research models into production-ready systems and integrate them across our product suite

- Drive technical decisions and contribute vision to the safety roadmap on how the next generation of platform guardrails should be built for scale and precision.

**Requirements:**

- Direct experience tackling free-tier abuse, fraud detection, or fake-account / bot farming at scale

- 6+ years of backend software engineering experience building production systems at scale

- Strong production backend experience: distributed systems, APIs, data pipelines, and Python expertise (asynchronous Python, backend frameworks)

- Infrastructure & DevOps proficiency: cloud platforms (AWS/GCP), containerization (Docker/K8s), CI/CD pipelines

- Observability mindset with experience in monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana) and building observable systems

- Track record of taking products or systems from 0→1 with measurable impact, including deploying or working alongside ML/AI systems in production

**Bonus:**

- Trust & Safety, Content Moderation, or Integrity engineering experience

- MLOps experience: deployment, monitoring, and versioning of ML models

- Experience with SQL, data analysis tools, real-time streaming systems (Kafka, Redis), or event-driven architectures

- Familiarity with React or modern frontend frameworks

**What we offer:**

- Innovative culture

- Growth paths

- Learning & development

- Social travel

- Annual company offsite

- Co-working
