Build the tools investigators use to dismantle exploitation networks

GEN builds the exploitation intelligence infrastructure that trust and safety teams, law enforcement agencies and platform partners use to dismantle child sexual exploitation and human trafficking networks. You'd work across several products, all of them evolving fast, alongside the wider GEN team and our partner organizations.

What matters most to us

• We build fast and close to the people doing the work, from investigators to content moderators. Hardening that into software an agency or a platform relies on for years is the job, so we need someone who has shipped and supported real commercial products.
• A deep understanding of what the tools are for, and when and why to use them. Python, React, Docker, AWS, Terraform, cloud and on-prem. Knowing why you'd pick one over another matters more to us than knowing the syntax.
• Strong engineering judgement. You can tell good code from code that merely runs, and you know how to steer agentic tools when you use them.
• Experience building AI-powered tools is a big bonus. Most of the job is the engineering around the models, so you'd need to be at home in that world without necessarily being the person training them.

What we offer

• $130,000 - $160,000 USD minimum salary plus benefits, dependent upon candidate location.
• Opportunities to travel internationally with GEN to meet, train and support partner agencies and organizations on-site.

We take college and post-graduate interns throughout the year, and we always want to hear from more. Interns here work on real problems rather than filler: past placements have covered engineering and data work, dataset research, policy, and the investigator wellness side of what we do. One of our engineers started at GEN as a volunteer working alongside investigators.

Tell us what you're studying, when you're available and what you'd like to work on, and we'll shape something around it.
