We're seeking an experienced software engineer in the trust and safety or fraud detection space to join our team.
We're looking for candidates from diverse backgrounds who are interested in:
- Building product features, platforms, and tooling to help to protect Gamma’s platform from phishing, objectionable content, spam, account takeovers, and other kinds of fraud and abuse

What you'll be working on
Over the past year or so, we've grown from a private beta serving hundreds of active users to a hot AI tool growing faster everyday with millions of users hitting our servers from around the world at all hours of the day. Gamma.app never sleeps!

You'll be responsible for identifying the largest gaps in our existing infrastructure, proposing, validating, and socializing potential improvements, and then implementing said improvements while partnering with other engineers and product managers. This is a high visibility role that will be critical to ensure Gamma's success as we continue to add more users and more features.
