Why we read it this way (7)
The title 'Trust & Safety Engineer' carries no explicit seniority level, so advertised seniority is Unspecified; the 5+ years requirement and end-to-end ownership of detection/prevention systems support a Senior classification.
The role is primarily about building and shipping detection, triage, and fraud-prevention software systems — squarely Software Developers (15-1252). Information Security Analysts (15-1212) is a plausible runner-up given the security/abuse focus, but the day-to-day work is engineering infrastructure, not security analysis.
The event-streaming requirement names Redis and Kafka as interchangeable examples ('or similar'); they are captured as a single skill with alternatives.
TypeScript, Prisma, Apollo GraphQL, AWS, and LLMs for content moderation all appear under the explicit 'Nice to have' section.
The compensation range ($180K–$310K) is explicitly noted to span 'multiple internal levels depending on qualifications', so the wide band reflects internal leveling rather than a single role grade.
The role requires in-office presence 4–5 days per week in San Francisco; it is not remote.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): abuse/fraud/spam prevention.
