JOB TITLE: Privacy Architect The Privacy Architect joins the Wallet, Payments, and Commerce teams to serve as the technical authority for privacy architecture. This role involves owning the multi-year roadmap and defining how the organization collects, processes, retains, and protects user data across a global, regulated ecosystem. Key responsibilities include designing a centralized privacy engineering framework for consent, data minimization, and logging, while establishing PIA methodologies and risk taxonomies. The architect must translate global regulations like GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA into engineering guidance and utilize generative AI to automate risk identification. The role requires deep expertise in privacy-preserving patterns, security engineering, and building shared platforms for PII detection and data lineage within the complex domain of financial services and commerce.

What you'll do

  • Own the privacy architecture and multi-year roadmap for Wallet, Payments, and Commerce engineering.
  • Design and drive adoption of a centralized privacy engineering framework for consent, data minimization, and retention.
  • Architect a logging and telemetry strategy that is operationally useful and compliant with global regulations like GDPR and CCPA.
  • Define the PIA methodology, risk taxonomy, control standards, and automated risk identification monitoring.
  • Resolve high-risk privacy decisions and review critical system designs to manage systemic risk.
  • Translate global regulations into clear engineering guidance for technical teams and legal counsel.
  • Develop tools and workflows using generative AI to automate risk identification and accelerate engineering processes.

What we're looking for

  • 12+ years of experience in privacy engineering, security engineering, or related architecture roles.
  • Deep expertise in privacy engineering and global regulations like GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA translated into engineering decisions.
  • Track record of defining standards or platforms adopted across large, complex engineering organizations by leading through influence.
  • Ability to make defensible architectural decisions under regulatory ambiguity and align legal, product, and engineering leadership.
  • Experience using generative AI to build tools, automate risk identification, or accelerate engineering workflows in regulated environments.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, including executive briefings and regulator-facing material.
