Data Scientist, Trust & Safety

Replit is the agentic software creation platform that enables anyone to build applications using natural language. With millions of users worldwide, Replit is democratizing software development by removing traditional barriers to application creation.

About the Role

We're redefining how software is built and who gets to build it. Our mission is to achieve Autonomy for All: making programming accessible, collaborative, and powered by AI. Realizing that vision requires a platform that legitimate users can trust and adversarial actors cannot exploit.

We're hiring a Data Scientist to help build Replit's Trust & Safety and Anti-Abuse program from the ground up. You'll turn noisy behavioral, identity, payment, infrastructure, and content signals into the measurement systems, detections, and decisions that protect Replit's users, platform, and economics. You'll work closely with Engineering, Support, Legal, Security, Infrastructure, Money, and Growth to make abuse economically unviable while keeping friction low for legitimate users.

Replit sits at the frontier of AI-native abuse. Our platform is a target for phishing and scam hosting, cryptomining, LLM token farming, card and coupon fraud, referral abuse, and increasingly, abuse driven by AI agents themselves. You'll help define how we identify, measure, and respond to these threats without compromising the experience of good users.
