Senior Engineer - Trust and Safety

• Join the Trust and Safety Tech team as a full-stack engineer, building the internal and external functionality that ensures users can find belonging within a safe, engaging environment at scale. • Work within a Node.js/MongoDB backend and React frontend to deliver low-friction, scalable moderation, anti-abuse, and safety systems that protect growth and trust while reducing harm. • Build UI/UX and backend systems for support, moderation, and safety operations, with careful consideration for cost and user privacy. • Participate in on-call rotations and own the usability, stability, reliability, and performance of critical moderation and safety services. • Work fully remotely from anywhere in the world with flexible hours and core collaboration hours.

• Bring professional experience developing, building, and maintaining web applications, preferably in social or gaming contexts. • Bring proficiency in the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js) and related technologies including Redis. • Bring experience building scalable RESTful APIs and usable, responsive React frontends. • Bring experience with operational excellence practices including observability, on-call, incident response, and reliability for production systems. • Bring comfort designing systems with adversarial users in mind — anticipating abuse vectors, false-positive costs, and graceful degradation.

• Bring understanding of game client/server architecture and data flow, especially as it relates to telemetry or abuse vectors. • Bring experience with Unity/C# for in-game safety UI surfaces such as reporting flows. • Bring experience with ML-adjacent systems including model serving, evaluation, and human-in-the-loop pipelines. • Bring experience working in or directly with moderation or Trust and Safety teams. • Bring familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS or GCP, and containerisation tools such as Docker or Kubernetes.

• Develop, implement, and maintain new features for the VRChat platform and operational team, focusing on safety systems, moderation, and support operations. • Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and engineers across the stack to translate product and design vision into functional code through informed trade-offs. • Contribute to all stages of the feature lifecycle from initial concept through to deployment, post-launch iteration, and maintenance. • Participate in code reviews to maintain a high bar for code quality, architectural integrity, performance, and reliability while spreading knowledge across the team. • Handle sensitive user data with appropriate privacy and access controls, and collaborate with non-engineering partners in operations, legal, and policy on product trade-offs.

• Work fully remotely from anywhere in the world with flexible hours and core collaboration hours — VRChat is a 100% remote company. • Receive stock options, unlimited and flexible vacation, and a generous paid holiday schedule. • Access paid parental leave benefits and health benefits for US and Canadian employees. • Join a diverse, creative, and collaborative team building one of the world's most ambitious social VR platforms.
