  • Independently manage multiple analyses at once while effectively prioritizing time
  • Identify sources of abusive behavior, quickly and accurately assessing the credibility of potential threats in order to mitigate risk of harm
  • Work cross-functionally with other analytic and investigative teams across the company, including collaborating with Policy, Engineering, and Integrity partners
  • Gather, analyze, and synthesize relevant data to identify potential abuse
  • Work with graphic and sensitive content on a regular basis
  • Work independently to make sound, timely decisions during time-sensitive investigations with minimal supervision

Requirements

  • Demonstrated communication skills
  • BA/BS degree in a relevant field, or equivalent
  • Analytical and investigative skills combined with knowledge to quickly assess large amounts of data in order to detect critical and credible information
  • Experience working with sensitive issues that include graphic violence, extremist content, a variety of religious and political views, and adult content
  • Experience and inclination to protect highly confidential information
  • Available for after-hours and weekend work
  • Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development and staying current with emerging AI technologies
  • 8+ years of professional experience in investigations or analysis in law enforcement, security, risk, or safety domains
  • Subject matter knowledge on terror organizations and/or violent extremism actors, especially pertaining to various social media platforms, analytical tools, and online research tools

Nice to have

  • Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
  • Experience conducting open source investigations and/or investigations on behalf of a technology company
  • Experience working with a team spanning multiple locations/time zones
  • Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)
