About the role

  • A hands-on engineering role on the Privacy Engineering team within GRC & Security, focused on building real controls—not policy-only work
  • Work on privacy engineering problems where product and platform decisions matter: user-facing flows, APIs, services, and supporting infrastructure that handles customer data
  • Build practical privacy guardrails across the stack (data minimization, purpose limitation, access boundaries, consent-aware collection, and safe defaults)
  • Improve retention/deletion workflows and logging/telemetry hygiene so privacy remains strong as systems evolve
  • Help enable privacy-safe AI-assisted features by implementing technical guardrails that reduce data exposure and improve data handling discipline
  • Collaborate across teams to make privacy the default through patterns, templates, guardrails

Requirements

  • 3–5 years of experience building and shipping software in a SaaS environment
  • Full stack engineering experience delivering customer-facing functionality and supporting backend services (APIs, services, and data flows)
  • Proficiency in one or more backend languages (e.g., Go, Rust, Java, TypeScript) and comfort working across the stack
  • Experience with modern web application patterns (authentication/authorization concepts, API design, frontend state/data handling)
  • Practical experience implementing privacy- and security-adjacent controls such as data minimization, access controls, encryption usage, retention/deletion, and privacy-safe telemetry/logging
  • Ability to translate privacy requirements (GDPR / CCPA / CPRA concepts) into engineering tasks
  • Strong collaboration skills and comfort partnering with GRC & Security, Product, Legal/Privacy, Data, and Engineering teams
  • A track record of writing reliable, maintainable code with testing and operational awareness (debugging, monitoring, incident follow-up)
