We are looking for an AI Content Moderation Lead.

Your main tasks will be:

• Leading the AI content moderation team (currently 6 people): organizing workflows, distributing tasks, and overseeing quality and productivity
• Scaling the team to 25 people: sourcing, interviewing, hiring, and onboarding new team members
• Running quality control for AI-generated content: setting up the review process, spotting errors, and giving structured feedback on moderation results
• Working closely with the AI Content Generation team to keep improving output quality, lower the rejection rate, and cut down on repeat iterations
• Creating, updating, and rolling out quality standards, evaluation criteria, and moderation guidelines (SOPs)
• Preparing weekly reports on team performance: volume of reviewed content, rejection rate, individual productivity, and trends in generation quality
• Owning the team’s key metrics: Rejection Rate, Content Review Time, and Moderation Accuracy

We expect from you:

• 2–5 years of experience as a Moderation Lead or in a similar role
• Background in subscription-based consumer apps (social/dating, entertainment, gaming, creator/UGC platforms) or Trust & Safety-heavy products (marketplaces, social or content platforms); experience with AI or chat products is a strong plus
• A track record of building processes from scratch or significantly restructuring existing ones
• Experience with workforce planning and shift scheduling
• Strong Excel/Google Sheets skills, basic analytics, the ability to build and read dashboards, and an understanding of product metrics
• Solid sensitive data hygiene: secure processes and access management
• Systems thinking and ownership: you see chaos and turn it into a working system
• Resilience under pressure and a cool head when handling tricky cases
• Empathy combined with a strong moral and ethical compass: you can draw clear lines between what’s appropriate and what’s overly prudish
• Excellent communication skills: writing SOPs and reports, and using the right tone with different audiences
• A cross-functional mindset: you can sell changes to product and the team, and explain their value to the business
• Comfort working with NSFW content

What do we offer:

• REMOTE OPPORTUNITY to work full-time;
• The initial pay level or pay range for this role will be shared with candidates during the recruitment process and before the commencement of employment;
• Vacation 28 calendar days per year;

• Corporate discount for English lessons;
• ​Health benefits. According to the paychecks, if you are not eligible for corporate medical insurance, the company will compensate you with up to $ 1,000 gross per year per employee. This can be spent on self-purchase of health insurance or on doctor’s fees for yourself and close relatives (spouse, children);
• ​Workplace organization. The company provides all employees with an equipped workplace and all the necessary equipment (table, armchair, wifi, etc.) in our offices or co-working locations. In the other locations, the company provides reimbursement of workplace costs up to $ 1000 gross once every 3 years, according to the paychecks.
