About SafetyKit

SafetyKit’s mission is to stop fraud and abuse on the world’s largest platforms. We’re a young startup but are already trusted as a critical defense for some of the world’s largest companies like Etsy, Patreon and Discord. Companies spend hundreds of billions of dollars on this problem today. But it doesn’t work — systems are fragmented, models are inaccurate, human review bogs down operations, and it all costs a painful amount of money. We saw this firsthand building anti-fraud systems at Stripe and Airbnb. SafetyKit unifies this entire ecosystem into one platform that actually works. We’re a fast-growing Series A startup backed by Y Combinator, Ribbit Capital, First Round Capital. We’ve raised $27M, are a 19-person team (mostly engineering), and operate 100% in-person at our San Francisco office. The Role
