Youth Safety Analyst (Long-Term Containment), Trust & Safety

About the team The Long-Term Containment (LTC) team sits in the "Contain" phase of the risk lifecycle. While teams such as Rapid Response and Regulatory Response optimize for speed and near-term risk reduction, Long-Term Containment optimizes for thoroughness - durable enforcement work that prevents the same harm from resurfacing.

About the role As a Youth Safety Analyst on the Long-Term Containment team, you will own the durable, systemic containment of youth-safety harms on the platform. Going beyond initial incident response, you will take a single escalation signal and expand it into the broader violating cluster, network, or behaviour pattern behind it, then build the enforcement and rules that keep that harm contained over time.

This is a hands-on, investigative role for someone who is equal parts critical thinker and technical practitioner. You will spend your time querying large datasets, forming and testing hypotheses about how youth-safety harms evade detection, and converting these into containment strategies using existing tools or automation eg. sweeps, rule logic, seed banks, and automation that scale beyond manual action. You will work closely with Risk Detection, Rapid Response, Account Risk Management, and the Issue Risk Prevention team, feeding your enforcement insights upstream so root causes get fixed rather than re-handled.

Responsibilities - Investigate repeat youth-safety escalations across features (Accounts, Search, Video, Photo, Audio, LIVE, Comments) to find and close the enforcement gaps that let the same harm resurface. - Expand individual escalation signals into the broader violating cluster, network, or behaviour pattern, taking durable containment action rather than one-off takedowns. - Build and maintain containment strategies - sweeps, trend rules, seed banking, and automation-driven detection - and govern their precision and recall over time. - Develop and build scripts and methodologies to detect and recall risk signals and clusters with high accuracy where there may not be existing tools to do so - Write and refine queries against large datasets to size harm, surface emerging patterns, measure the impact of your enforcement, and decide where to focus next. - Own and report on the enforcement actions and metrics for your assigned youth-safety topics, including escalation reduction, prevalence, discoverability, and recidivism. - Partner with Risk Detection, Rapid Response, Account Risk Management, Policy, Product, and Operations to translate analysis into implemented containment, and feed insights to the Issue Risk Prevention team to drive root-cause remediation. - Turn your findings into clear written analysis and recommendations for both technical partners and senior stakeholders, and help standardize containment methodologies and playbooks across regions.
