Handshake AI matches domain experts with leading AI companies to train frontier models. We're hiring a Product Manager for our Pay & Safety squad to own how we pay our fellows and how we keep our marketplace trustworthy.

Tens of thousands of fellows rely on HAI to pay them accurately and on time every week. The Pay team has built the foundation, including admin-managed payroll, referrals at scale, and incentives tied to pipeline stage, but the surface area is growing faster than the team can keep up with. You'll own the roadmap for what's next, including withholding tax compliance, off-platform time tracking, in-product adjustments, international payouts, and securing payroll against fraud.

You'll also lead the team's expansion into Trust & Safety. Fraud detection at HAI today is largely manual. Operators run queries by hand and react after customers flag bad actors. The gap costs us millions of dollars per month between payouts to fraudsters, false-positive churn, and lost revenue. Your job is to move detection from reactive to proactive: ingest the relevant risk and trust signals, build the system that acts on them, and give operators tooling that replaces the manual work they do today.

You'll be part of a cross-functional squad with engineers and designers, working closely with Operations, Finance, T&S, and Growth.
