You will manage the integration of AI-assisted review tools and high-velocity engineering workflows to ensure data minimization, retention, deletion, and secure handling of sensitive information. Key responsibilities include partnering with legal, compliance, and product teams to translate complex requirements into technical specifications while managing trade-offs between privacy and innovation in areas like ads and machine learning systems. The ideal candidate possesses expertise in security automation, identity and access management, and cloud infrastructure, utilizing a strong background in privacy engineering to build robust controls for large-scale technology environments.

What you'll do

  • Lead a team building scalable platforms, policy systems, and automation for privacy across product and infrastructure.
  • Scale "privacy by design" through AI-assisted reviews, reusable policy artifacts, and automated workflows.
  • Build machine-readable privacy policies and enforcement mechanisms for engineers and internal platforms.
  • Develop validation loops for privacy commitments, including code scanning and system-level analysis.
  • Manage technical trade-offs regarding data usage, access, retention, and AI/ML systems.
  • Translate legal, policy, and governance requirements into durable technical specifications and system behaviors.
  • Coach engineers and establish a high bar for technical excellence and production-ready code quality.

What we're looking for

  • Hold a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or equivalent experience.
  • Possess 8+ years of security/privacy experience with a Bachelor's, 7+ years with a Master's, or 4+ years with a PhD.
  • Have at least 1 year of technical leadership or engineering management experience.
  • Demonstrate proficiency in privacy engineering including data minimization, access boundaries, and retention policies.
  • Exhibit strong technical leadership to set strategy, drive execution, and influence cross-functional teams.
  • Experience building or scaling platforms, workflows, or control planes in privacy, security, or infrastructure domains.
  • Ability to translate legal, policy, or governance requirements into technical requirements and system behaviors.
  • Proficiency in leveraging AI tools for development while auditing for architectural integrity and security risks.
