Senior Director, Engineering, Trust Protection Suite

Job Description

YouTube's mission is to give everyone a voice and to show them the world. In order to do that well, openness is an essential characteristic of the product design. We embrace a wide diversity of voices because we believe that diversity of voice leads to societal progress, learning, understanding, and entertainment that might otherwise not exist.

YouTube's Trust and Safety team exists to define and enforce standards for safety in a way that seeks to maximize the benefits from YouTube's openness and minimize the harm. There can be content or behaviors that cause egregious user or societal harm (ex. child exploitation, hate speech) or generally degrade the quality of the product for all users (ex. spam, porn). We are the stewards of safety in pursuit of YouTube's mission and work on industry leading solutions - it's hard, it's interesting, and it matters.

As the Engineering Director of Trust Protection Suite (TPS), you will lead a highly talented and experienced team of engineering and operations professionals, and drive industry forward thinking on abuse and fraud policy, and defend against malicious content. You will be responsible for our strategy to address these problems, prioritizing our engineering teams to build creator products and systems, infrastructure, and tools to keep the platform trustworthy and safe at YouTube scale and breadth.

This is an exciting time to join the TPS organization and help lead it strategically, enabling it to grow and scale to cover YouTube's growth and innovation.

At YouTube, we believe that everyone deserves to have a voice, and that the world is a better place when we listen, share, and build community through our stories. We work together to give everyone the power to share their story, explore what they love, and connect with one another in the process. Working at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and boundless creativity, we move at the speed of culture with a shared goal to show people the world. We explore new ideas, solve real problems, and have fun - and we do it all together.
