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.
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.
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 protections with product needs.
Experience with cloud platforms (e.g., Azure, AWS, GCP) and large-scale data systems.
Background in security engineering, privacy engineering, or data governance.
Experience with control-plane or metadata-driven enforcement systems.
Exposure to data platforms or ML infrastructure.
Prior experience in a regulated or highly sensitive data environment.
