Job description

Instagram's Trust & Safety Design team earns the trust of a global community of 2B+ people — with particular focus on teens, parents, and creators. This is design at the intersection of product, policy, and human behavior: you're shaping how safety feels across a platform used by 500 million+ teens globally, navigating an evolving regulatory landscape that makes the work both urgent and intellectually rich. We're looking for a generalist systems thinker with a content design foundation — someone who has evolved into end-to-end product design leadership and brings that language‑first sensibility to experiences where clarity, empathy, and precision are the design. This work presents unique design challenges at Meta: policy and regulation aren't blockers — they're creative material. The work you ship here sets standards that ripple across the company.

Product Designer, Trust & Safety Responsibilities:

• Lead the design vision for trust and safety experiences across Instagram — setting strategic direction at the portfolio level, not just individual features
• Design end‑to‑end product experiences for youth safety, parental controls, creator protections, and platform integrity — where clear, empathetic communication is the core UX
• Translate complex regulatory, policy, and safety requirements into intuitive, human‑centered experiences that work for teens, parents, and creators alike
• Drive alignment and influence across Design, Product, Policy, Engineering, and Legal at senior leadership levels
• Define and elevate the craft of content‑informed product design — mentoring designers and establishing standards and best practices for how we communicate sensitive topics at scale
• Navigate significant ambiguity and competing constraints to deliver cohesive, trustworthy experiences

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Design, Human‑Computer Interaction, Computer Science, or a related field and 8+ years of experience in product design or a related discipline
• 8+ years of experience building and shipping applications or software at company‑level scale, leading the end‑to‑end experience within a large‑scale, ambiguous domain
• Content design background with demonstrated evolution into holistic product design (IxD + content + systems thinking)
• Experience with mobile‑first, consumer‑social product design at scale
• Experience operating at principal/staff‑level leadership — setting direction, influencing cross‑functionally, and mentoring designers
• Experience navigating ambiguity across design, product, policy, engineering, and legal functions to deliver cohesive outcomes

Preferred Qualifications:

• Ability to turn regulatory requirements into a human‑centered, intuitive user experience
• Experience designing in Trust & Safety, well‑being, or heavily regulated/policy‑constrained spaces
• Strategic vision at the portfolio/program level
• Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy review)
• Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
• Understanding of the creator ecosystem and the tools that help drive better outcomes
• Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)
• Experience designing for teens/youth or family safety contexts
• Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies
