As a Specialist on the Proactive Moderation Operations team, you will carry out the day-to-day work of our proactive human moderation efforts. You will own multiple moderation cases at a time, taking each from ticket creation through moderation, QA, and golden labeling. You will build deep expertise in our proactive moderation tooling and processes, apply rapid and accurate labels to user-generated content, and help interpret grey-area policies and detect and moderate new abuse trends. Acting as an expert judge on every case you handle, you will weigh tradeoffs between false positive rates, speed, and urgency, and surface bugs, feature limitations, and feature requests that help improve overall operations.
