Analytics Engineer

Join Modulate as we pioneer the future of conversational intelligence.

Modulate is the leader in conversational voice intelligence. We enable platforms to deeply understand how their users connect and take timely actions based on those insights. Our flagship product, ToxMod, analyzes millions of voice interactions each month and escalates disruptive behavior (harassment, hate, exploitation risk) and prosocial behavior (supportive comments, collaboration) to Trust & Safety teams. Top gaming studios, including Activision, Rockstar, and Ubisoft rely on ToxMod to protect players and support moderators. Gig economy marketplaces use our voice intelligence capabilities to detect similar violations, preventing real-world harms and uncovering fraud and account-takeover scams. We escalate high-risk calls to improve response times and retention, ultimately unlocking voice for our customers and partners.

Identifying and escalating that behavior to safety teams is only a part of what we do. We also provide leaders on these teams with the information they need to make the best decisions about how to protect their community. We’re always learning alongside our customers and being challenged by new use cases for our technology. The reports we create and deliver to our customers and partners help them create robust moderation strategies, figure out where to deploy our products for maximum impact, and transparently report their progress to the industry and to regulators.
