VRChat is building the infrastructure for social VR at scale. As a Senior Engineer on the Trust and Safety Tech team, you'd work on real problems that protect users while keeping friction low. This is the kind of foundational work that matters early in your career—you're not implementing specs, you're solving problems that directly affect how millions of people interact safely online.
You'll be a full-stack engineer working with Node.js and MongoDB, developing both internal and external systems that help VRChat scale safely. Your focus: reducing harm, protecting growth, and ensuring users find belonging in a secure environment. You'll ship features that have immediate impact on how the platform functions.
This role fits engineers with solid backend fundamentals and an interest in building systems that work at scale. You should be comfortable with Node.js and databases, and ideally have experience thinking through the security and moderation side of user-facing platforms. A portfolio of shipped work helps.
