Genies, Inc.
Genies is an avatar technology company powering the next era of interactive digital identity through AI companions. With the Avatar Framework and intuitive creation tools, Genies enables developers, talent, and creators to generate and deploy game-ready AI companions. The company’s technology stack supports full customization, AI-generated fashion and props, and seamless integration of user-generated content (UGC). Backed by investors including Bob Iger, Silver Lake, BOND, and NEA, Genies’ mission is to become the visual and interactive layer for the LLM-powered internet.
We are seeking a Trust & Safety Lead to oversee the integrity and safety of our growing ecosystem of user-generated content (UGC) and AI-powered creation tools. This includes developing policies, systems, and tools to prevent misuse of avatar customization, digital goods, and social interactions, while also safeguarding against emerging risks associated with AI-generated content — such as impersonation, offensive material, or unauthorized use of likeness or training data. You’ll work cross-functionally to ensure that Genies remains a safe, respectful, and inclusive space for creators, consumers, and partners alike as we scale next-gen identity and expression.
What You’ll Be Doing
Own and evolve Genies’ Trust & Safety strategy across all surfaces, ensuring a safe, respectful, and inclusive digital environment. Establish and enforce community guidelines, moderation frameworks, and enforcement policies for user-generated content, digital goods, and virtual interactions. Partner with Engineering and Product to develop scalable tools and systems for content moderation, abuse detection, user reporting, and risk mitigation. Work with our partners to implement their brand specific trust and safety requirements. Monitor platform behavior and trends to proactively identify emerging risks and design safeguards before issues scale. Act as the central liaison for safety escalations, working cross-functionally with Legal, Partnerships, Support, and Executive Leadership to handle incidents with speed and integrity. Work within our UGC communities to build and manage a team of moderators to help cultivate and enforce our standards. Collaborate with internal stakeholders to promote user education, transparency, and community well-being through clear communication and policy updates. Stay ahead of industry trends, regulatory guidance, and global policy developments to ensure Genies remains at the forefront of platform safety. What You Should Have
