Tech Stack
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)
