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 protections with product needs.

Nice to Have

• Experience with cloud platform
