As a Safeguards Enforcement Analyst on the user well-being team, you'll build and execute enforcement workflows that keep our products safe, with a focus on detecting and mitigating potential harm.

You'll also be the enforcement partner for sales and platform teams when third-party developers need guidance on deploying age-appropriately. This position may expand into broader areas of user well-being enforcement over time.
