As a Privacy Software Engineer, you will operate as a key cross-functional contributor outside of a single dedicated pod. Working in close collaboration with the Identity team and a dedicated Product Manager, your mission is to embed privacy deeply into our engineering DNA.
This role requires navigating a very wide and complex codebase to develop and enhance our privacy capabilities. You will help balance urgent legal and compliance priorities with a long-term, resilient privacy architecture. Crucially, you must possess a strong business acumen to understand how technical privacy choices impact our production environment and overarching business goals, ensuring seamless integration without compromising performance.

- Codebase Navigation & Architecture: Dive into a broad, diverse codebase to develop new privacy capabilities, auditing existing systems and creating tech solutions that handle data privacy efficiently at true scale.
- Strategic vs. Urgent Execution: Navigate the tension between urgent compliance/regulatory priorities and a long-term, resilient privacy vision, ensuring our technical foundations are built to last.
- Business Impact & Analytics: Apply a strong business understanding to assess the production impact of your technical privacy choices. You will design, build, and maintain the right data pipelines and analytics required to monitor and measure these impacts in real-time.
- Legal & Product Collaboration: Partner closely with a dedicated Privacy Product Manager to translate complex legal issues and regional laws into scalable, actionable technical requirements.
What will you bring to the team?
- Good programming abilities. Testing your code is second nature to you. You are mindful of your application’s architecture, performance, maintainability, and overall quality.
- Familiarity with large, high-throughput, distributed systems, and connecting together and processing large amounts of data
- Analytical and experimental mindset in any feature or project you’ll ship to production. You like to prove an idea first before you invest large amounts of effort into development.
- Good communication skills and ability to work collaboratively within a diverse global team. You are an active listener and a dialogue facilitator, you know how to explain your decision and like sharing your knowledge.
- Multiple shipped projects in Software Engineering.
- Production knowledge and practices (Release, Observability, Troubleshooting…), thanks to multiple shipped projects / applications. Strong problem-solving skills.
- Career Development: Continuous investment in our employees’ skills: in-house and external training, internal mobility
- Life Balance: A well-balanced work-life for our employees is one of our top priorities: 22 days off per year, 15 days per year of work from anywhere, hybrid work (3 days per week in the office)
- Wellness: Prioritizing employee well-being through premium work equipment, enjoyable work environment (work-life balance, team building events, summits), work from home subsidy, promoting Diversity & Inclusion with internal & external initiatives, etc.
