Our systems run in production at global scale and are used to build </span><span>millions of real applications.</span></div> <div class="textLayer" data-main-rotation="0"><br><span>Since public launch, Emergent has reached</span> <span>$100M ARR in 8 months</span><span>.</span> 6.5<span>M+ users across 190+ countries</span> <span>have built</span> 7M<span>+&nbsp;</span><span>applications</span> <span>on Emergent. We've raised</span> <span>$100M</span><span>, backed by </span><span>Khosla Ventures, SoftBank, Google, Lightspeed, Prosus, </span><span>Together, and Y Combinator</span><span>. </span><span>We're solving the hardest problems in running a global AI platform at scale:</span> <span>trust, safety, fraud, and platform integrity</span><span>. Our team </span><span>includes repeat founders, Olympiad medalists, IIT &amp; IIM alumni, and leaders from Google, Amazon, and Dropbox. </span><span>We're hiring builders who want ownership, speed, and impact at global scale.</span></div> <div class="textLayer" data-main-rotation="0">&nbsp;</div> <div class="textLayer" data-main-rotation="0"><strong><span>About the Role :-&nbsp;</span></strong><br><span>As Platform Integrity Lead, you will own everything that keeps Emergent safe for legitimate users and defensible to the outside </span><span>world. You will be the first dedicated hire in this function, which means you'll be setting the playbook — defining policies, building </span><span>detection logic with engineering, making the hard calls on grey-area cases, and scaling the function as the platform grows.</span><br><span>This role sits at the intersection of fraud detection, content policy, and platform operations. You will work directly with engineering,</span><br><span>legal, and leadership and will have the autonomy to hire your own team once the function is established.</span></div> <div class="textLayer" data-main-rotation="0"> <p><span><strong>What will you do :-</strong></span></p> <ul> <li><span>Own end-to-end abuse and fraud response — from detection through investigation, decision, takedown, and appeal — across all </span><span>violation categories including phishing, impersonation, brand abuse, hate speech, and coordinated fraud networks.</span></li> <li><span>Investigate platform fraud independently: referral credit abuse, compute farming, multi-account networks, and financial fraud </span><span>schemes — pulling data, identifying patterns, and driving account actions.</span></li> <li><span>Make confident takedown decisions on flagged apps, including ambiguous cases where policy is not black and white; document </span><span>reasoning clearly for each decision.</span></li> <li><span>Partner with engineering to define and improve automated detection systems — classifier prompts, review queues, admin </span><span>tooling, and webhook integrations with infrastructure providers.</span></li> <li><span>Build and maintain Emergent's abuse response policies, violation tier framework, and internal SOPs; keep them current as the </span><span>platform and threat landscape evolve.</span></li> <li><span>Handle inbound abuse reports from external parties — rights holders, brand protection teams, and infrastructure providers — </span><span>and manage the full response lifecycle.</span></li> <li><span>Define the appeal process and handle escalated appeals; maintain case logs and reporting for internal and external </span><span>stakeholders.</span></li> <li><span>Identify systemic gaps in detection coverage and drive improvements proactively, not just reactively.</span></li> <li><span>Hire and onboard the next analyst into the function when volume demands it.</span></li> </ul> </div> <div class="textLayer" data-main-rotation="0"> <p><strong><span>What are we looking for :-</span></strong></p> <ul> <li><span>4–7 years of experience in trust &amp; safety, platform fraud, risk operations, or a closely related function at a technology company&nbsp;</span><span>— fintech, consumer platform, or marketplace.</span></li> <li><span>Demonstrated track record of independently identifying and actioning coordinated abuse or fraud networks, not just processing&nbsp;</span><span>individual cases in a queue.</span></li> <li><span>Intermediate SQL / data analytics skills — able to write queries independently, build investigation cohorts from raw data, and&nbsp;</span><span>spot anomalies without waiting for an analyst; familiarity with BigQuery or similar is a plus.</span></li> <li><span>Comfortable reading code, API responses, and logs at a surface level — enough to understand what a deployed app is doing,&nbsp;</span><span>follow a fork chain, and ask the right questions of engineering without needing hand-holding.</span></li> <li><span>Strong policy judgment — able to make confident decisions on Tier 2/3 grey-area cases (controversial speech, adult content,&nbsp;</span><span>ambiguous impersonation) and articulate the reasoning clearly in writing.</span></li> <li><span>Adversarial mindset — assumes bad actors are actively probing for gaps and designs responses accordingly; prior experience&nbsp;</span><span>with multi-account fingerprinting, referral fraud rings, or compute abuse is a strong plus.</span></li> <li><span>Clear, precise written communication — able to draft takedown notices, external policy documents, internal SOPs, and&nbsp;</span><span>escalation briefs without legal review for every line.</span></li> <li><span>Working knowledge of platform liability frameworks relevant to a global product — DMCA, IT Act basics, GDPR considerations;&nbsp;</span><span>knows when to loop in legal vs. when to act independently.</span></li> <li><span>Comfortable operating with ambiguity and speed in an early-stage environment; this is a build-from-scratch role, not a process-&nbsp;</span><span>following one.</span></li> </ul> </div> <div class="textLayer" data-main-rotation="0"><br><strong><span>LET'S BUILD THE FUTURE OF SOFTWARE TOGETHER!</span></strong></div> </div> <p></p>
