Data Scientist, Trust & Safety

About this role
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.

You'll help define how we identify, measure, and respond to these threats without compromising the experience of good users.
