About this role:

We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer, Trust & Safety to design user experiences that quietly but powerfully protect Yubo’s users. This isn’t just about warnings and reports. It’s about creating flows and tools that reduce harm before it happens, and without users even taking notice of it.

You’ll be the first dedicated designer focused on this area, and a core part of our cross-functional Trust & Safety (T&S) squad. As such, you will be the sole representative for the design team within that squad, and collaborate closely with PMs, software engineers, data scientists, and moderators who are at the frontlines of user safety at Yubo.

Your responsibilities

• Co-lead the T&S product squad with the Product Manager and Tech Lead to set goals, define experiments, and drive measurable safety impact

• Design internal tooling for moderators and investigation teams to work faster and smarter

• Partner with data and ML teams to uncover behaviour patterns, run A/B tests and rapidly validate hypotheses; kill or evolve solutions based on clear safety KPIs

• Continuously analyze usage data, conduct research, and perform competitor analysis to guide design decisions.

• Contribute to Yubo’s design system with a focus on consistency and accessibility in safety-related UX

Tools we use

• Figma

• Amplitude

• Comfortable with data and experimentation, going beyond simple usage metrics.

• Audit current flows, tools, and experiences related to user safety

• Co-define your squad’s roadmap with the PM and Tech Lead

• Start designing improvements to existing moderation tools

Within 3 months, you will

• Launch your first safety UX improvements to internal tools or user-facing features

• Add smarter sign‑up and in‑app checks that spot bad actors before they act, while keeping the experience smooth for real users.

• Start contributing to the broader design system with safety components in mind

Within 6 months, you will

• Work on how bringing AI to the party by prototyping pilot projects focused on increasing user safety and reducing moderator workload.
