Why this grade This listing scored 39/100, which is an F. It lost the most ground on pay transparency. See the breakdown
- Description depth 20 / 20 How much the posting actually says about the work, measured in characters of real text.
- Pay transparency 12 / 25 A published salary range, worth more than any other single factor because it is what a candidate cannot find out without applying.
- Remote clarity 8 / 15 Whether "remote" means anywhere, or is quietly restricted to one country.
- Corroboration 5 / 10 Whether more than one source carries this listing.
- Freshness 4 / 15 How recently it was posted. Older postings are likelier to be filled or abandoned.
- Role specificity 0 / 10 Whether the listing is tagged well enough to tell what the role actually is.

Job Overview
We’re looking for a full-stack engineer to join our Trust and Safety Tech team. We hire engineers to solve real user problems, not implement specs. You will be instrumental in discovering, developing, and refining the internal and external functionality that ensure users can find belonging within a safe, engaging environment. Your work will help ensure VRChat scales safely, protecting growth and trust by reducing harm with low friction. This role involves working within Node.js/Mongo backend and React frontend to deliver low-friction, scalable moderation, anti-abuse, and safety systems.
Who You Are
A pragmatic, full-stack engineer who treats safety and privacy as first-class design constraints. Comfortable across the MERN stack, comfortable with adversarial thinking, and comfortable being on-call for systems that matter.
What You'll Do
Work within a full-stack team to develop, implement, and maintain new features for the VRChat platform and operational team.
Focus on enhancing safety systems, building the UI/UX and backend systems for support, moderation, and safety operations, with consideration for cost and user privacy.
Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and other engineers across the stack to translate product and design vision into functional code through informed tradeoffs and accurate estimates.
Contribute to all stages of the feature lifecycle, from initial concept and prototyping to deployment and post-launch iteration and maintenance.
Ensure the usability, stability, reliability, and performance of critical moderation and safety services, participating in on-call rotations as needed.
Participate in code reviews to maintain a high bar for code quality, architectural integrity, performance, and reliability while spreading knowledge across the team.
Contribute to a culture embracing collaborative, iterative, outcome-focused, product-discovery-driven delivery.
Qualifications
Professional experience developing, building and maintaining web applications, preferably in social or gaming contexts.
Proficiency in the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js) and related technologies like Redis.
Experience building scalable, RESTful APIs.
Experience building usable, responsive web front ends using React and CSS, or other similar technologies.
Experience with database design and optimization, state management, and third-party integrations.
Familiarity with version control systems and CI/CD pipelines.
Experience with operational excellence: observability, on-call, incident response, and reliability practices for production systems.
Comfort designing systems with adversarial users in mind: anticipating abuse vectors, false-positive costs, and graceful degradation.
Experience handling sensitive user data with appropriate privacy and access controls.
Comfort collaborating with non-engineering partners (operations, legal, policy) on product trade-offs.
An agile, collaborative, product mindset and excellent communication skills, capable of working effectively in a remote, cross-functional team environment.
Demonstrated interest in online communities, VR, or VRChat (as a user or creator).
Bonus Points
Understanding of a game client/server architecture and data flow, especially as it relates to telemetry or abuse vectors.
Experience with Unity/C# (for in-game safety UI surfaces like reporting flows).
Experience with ML-adjacent systems (model serving, evaluation, human-in-the-loop pipelines).
Experience working in, or directly with, moderation or Trust and Safety teams.
Familiarity with cloud platforms (e.g. AWS, GCP) and containerization (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes.)
