About the Role

As a Trust & Safety Agent, you’ll play a key role in protecting the integrity of a fast-growing livestream commerce platform.

You'll work closely with internal teams to answer critical questions, improve processes, and reduce risk across the platform.

  • Investigate medium-complexity, high-sensitivity cases with attention to detail and empathy
  • Respond to customer inquiries via email and chat, providing clear and timely support
  • Analyze trends in user behavior to identify opportunities for stronger risk mitigation
  • Collaborate across departments to resolve open issues and improve operational outcomes
  • Monitor key performance metrics and use data to guide decisions
  • Maintain high-quality work while meeting internal service standards and timelines

What We’re Looking For

  • 1–5 years of experience in Trust & Safety, customer service, fraud prevention, or a related field
  • Familiarity with e-commerce, marketplaces, payment systems, or parcel delivery operations
  • Experience using customer support platforms such as Zendesk, Kustomer, or Intercom
  • Strong organizational skills and a detail-oriented mindset
  • Proactive approach to problem-solving and process improvement
  • Customer-first attitude with the ability to balance policy enforcement and user experience
  • Flexibility to work weekends and holidays as needed

Preferred Qualifications

  • Four-year degree
  • Knowledge of collectibles or niche marketplaces
  • Interest in growing professionally within a scaling organization

Work Environment

This role is based in Phoenix, Arizona, with flexibility to work remotely or from one of our office hubs. You must live within commuting distance of the Phoenix area. The team values in-person collaboration for planning and problem-solving, while supporting remote work for focus and balance.

Benefits

  • Comprehensive health insurance (medical, dental, vision)
  • Work-from-home support, including a home office setup allowance
  • Monthly stipend for internet and mobile service
  • Wellness, childcare, and family planning allowances
  • 401k with employer match up to 4% of base salary (US) or pension plans internationally
  • Monthly credit to use on the platform
  • 16 weeks of paid parental leave with a one-month reintegration period
