Job Description

• 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

Job 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)
