  • Conduct privacy impact assessments and threat modeling for high-risk data processing activities.
  • Advocate for privacy-preserving solutions, serve as a trusted technical advisor across the business, and identify new opportunities to improve our overall privacy posture.
  • Partner cross-functionally to ensure our privacy policies and notices accurately reflect our underlying technology.
  • Develop customer-facing trust documentation on privacy and support privacy incident response efforts.
  • Design and implement privacy-preserving analytics and measurement systems that provide actionable insights while protecting individual user privacy.

  • Proven experience building technical controls for data governance, including classification, lineage, retention, and deletion at scale.
  • Familiarity with privacy risks in ML systems, such as training data sourcing, model memorization, and inference privacy.
  • Strong foundation in privacy-by-design principles and hands-on experience applying them throughout product development.
  • Demonstrated ability to translate complex regulatory and legal requirements into clear engineering specifications.
