About the role

We’re looking for a detail-oriented Trust & Safety professional to ensure alignment with global regulatory frameworks and contribute to our Safety by Design initiatives. This role sits at the intersection of product, policy, and compliance—partnering across engineering, legal, and operations to translate regulatory obligations into thoughtful, user-centered safety product requirements.

You’ll communicate effectively with engineers and data scientists, help teams understand regulatory requirements, evaluate the effectiveness of solutions, and advocate for features that advance user safety without compromising product usability. You’ll write compliance reports and help ensure our products meet both the spirit and the letter of the law.

This is a cross-functional role that requires clarity in writing, rigor in reasoning, and pragmatism in navigating ambiguity. You should be energized by tough product trade-offs, grounded in the realities of enforcement at scale, and thoughtful about how to design for safety in a proportionate, user-respecting way.

Responsibilities

• Work closely alongside our Legal team to translate safety regulations and codes of practice into actionable product requirements and design principles.
• Act as a thought partner to product and engineering teams, especially on detection tooling, user-facing safety flows, and effectiveness measurement.
• Evaluate safety system performance and make recommendations grounded in technical understanding (e.g., detection thresholds, false positives).
• Write high-quality internal documentation, compliance narratives, and external-facing disclosures.
• Serve as a cross-functional facilitator among product, legal, enforcement ops, data science, and more to align on safety system design and obligations.
• Monitor evolving regional safety regulations and assess their implications for products and policies.
• Contribute to external regulator briefings and product walkthroughs as required.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in Trust & Safety, product policy, or regulatory compliance, ideally with product-facing exposure.
• Deep understanding of online harm types and interventions, including detection tooling and safety UX design.
• Strong technical fluency—comfortable analyzing detection performance metrics and communicating with engineers and product managers.
• Excellent writing and reasoning skills; produce clear, structured thinking in docs, even on complex topics.
• Product mindset—approach regulatory compliance and policy goals as design problems to solve, not boxes to check.
• Familiarity with major global safety regulations affecting Trust & Safety.
• Bonus: experience engaging directly with regulators or contributing to external transparency reports.

Benefits

• Mind & Body – Medical, mental health, and wellness benefits to support your overall health and well-being.
• Financial Wellness – Competitive compensation, 100% employer match on 401k contributions up to 10% (cap at $10,000), as well as an employee stock purchase program.
• Unplug – Generous PTO and 14 paid holidays.
• Career – Annual training allowance for professional development and ERG membership opportunities and events.
• Family – 20 weeks of 100% paid parental leave, fertility, adoption, and child care resources, as well as pet insurance and discounts.
• Company Gatherings – Company events to build connection and belonging.

Values

• Take the Lead: We don't ghost our work or each other.
• Move Fast: We have a bias for action and urgency.
• Better Together: We keep connection at the heart of dating and at the heart of how we work.
• Real Talk: We say the hard thing the human way.
• Safety First: We act with integrity, transparency, and consistency so people feel safe.
• Spark Fun: We have fun to unlock creativity, fuel innovation, and help us build better experiences for daters.
