About The Position

Working on the Law & Policy Functional Team, you'll support DuckDuckGo's global compliance and safety obligations by translating legal and regulatory requirements into repeatable and scalable, day-to-day operational practices. As a Compliance & Safety Specialist, you’ll work closely with engineering, product and legal to build, operate and continuously improve workflows for content, online safety and privacy compliance. Potential projects include:
Building cross-functional AI safety support processes, including contributing to AI governance and to the data labeling and metrics used to evaluate our products.
Managing and improving the CSAM moderation workflow for AI image uploads.
Enhancing our privacy compliance program.
In this role, you’ll take ownership of solving complex and ambiguous operational problems, such as translating evolving frameworks for online safety, AI, and privacy into practical processes and metrics, including in situations where requirements change quickly or lack clear precedent. You’ll also proactively identify risks, dependencies, and blockers to keep compliance capabilities aligned with rapid product development, while reducing reactive legal work through clear documentation, tooling, and automation.
