In today's digital world, finding genuine relationships is tougher than ever. At Hinge, we’re on a mission to inspire intimate connection to create a less lonely world. We’re obsessed with understanding our users’ behaviors to help them find love, and our success is defined by one simple metric– setting up great dates. With millions of users across the globe, we’ve become the most trusted way to find a relationship, for all.

About the Role

We’re looking for an Enforcement Specialist to join our Trust & Safety team at Hinge. In this role, you’ll be at the forefront of our efforts to ensure a safe and respectful experience for our community. You'll investigate complex, gray-area user reports escalated from our moderation team and partner cross-functionally with teams like Risk & Policy, Global Escalations, Appeals, and Bad Actor Detection. You’ll play a key role in enforcing Hinge’s policies, identifying harmful patterns and trends, and supporting key safety initiatives that shape how we keep our platform safe. This is an hourly, entry-level role with a structured schedule and a meaningful impact.

Responsibilities

• Review nuanced, escalated user reports and determine whether they violate Hinge’s Terms of Service or Community Guidelines.
• Identify and surface new and emerging user trends to the broader Trust & Safety team.
• Support user experience by responding to reports of harm submitted via email, including incidents that may have occurred off-platform.
• Answer ad hoc questions from third-party moderators about our guidelines and enforcement practices.
• Collaborate with our Global Escalations team to support users in crisis or emergency situations.
• Contribute to data labeling projects that improve safety-related machine learning and detection efforts.
• Conduct QA on moderator training to ensure high-quality enforcement outcomes.

What We're Looking For

• You’re empathetic and deeply thoughtful about how enforcement decisions affect real people.
• You’re an organized and detail-oriented communicator who can manage multiple time-sensitive tasks.
• You’re comfortable asking questions and eager to learn — and teach — new systems, processes, and guidelines.
• You thrive in both independent and collaborative environments.
• You can adapt to evolving systems and workflows.
• You’re capable of handling sensitive, high-stakes content with professionalism.
• Experience in content moderation or a customer-facing role is a plus, but not required.

Role Logistics

• This is a non-exempt, hourly position.
• You will be scheduled to work 10:00am–6:00pm ET, either Tuesday–Saturday or Sunday–Thursday.
• Weekend shifts are required.
• Trust & Safety staff provide holiday coverage on a volunteer basis with additional compensation.
• This is a remote role with periodic in-person attendance required for team onsites at our New York office.
