Software Engineer - Privacy & Compliance
We’re looking for a Software Engineer to architect and build backend systems that enforce data privacy and automate compliance at scale. You’ll work closely with product, infrastructure, security, and legal teams to embed privacy-by-design into our data and access layers.
This is a hands-on, high-impact role for an experienced engineer who is passionate about protecting user data while enabling innovation.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Design, build, and operate backend services that enforce policy-driven data access, lifecycle controls, and privacy protections.
- Develop distributed authorization and identity-aware enforcement mechanisms integrated directly into data services and control planes.
- Implement auditability, policy hooks, and enforcement observability to ensure compliance is continuously verifiable.
- Partner with Security, Legal, and Compliance to convert privacy requirements into scalable technical designs and developer-friendly APIs.
- Harden data platforms and backend services through schema-level controls and data handling constraints by default.
- Collaborate with infrastructure teams to ensure consistent enforcement across systems while minimizing duplicated implementations.
- Contribute patterns, libraries, and education that elevate trustworthy data access patterns across the organization.
YOU MIGHT THRIVE IN THIS ROLE IF YOU HAVE
- 5+ years of industry experience building and operating backend or infrastructure systems in production.
- Strong software engineering fundamentals, with fluency in at least one major programming language (e.g., Python, Go, Rust, C++, Java).
- Experience with distributed authorization, RBAC/ACL systems, encryption-based access, or policy engines.
- Familiarity with global privacy regulations and their architectural implications.
- Ability to influence and collaborate with teams across legal, compliance, product, and engineering.
- A bias toward practical, impactful solutions that balance privacy...
