About the Role

We are building Essential, the intelligence layer of our OS, focusing on AI that is useful, open, honest, and secure. We prioritize user privacy by minimizing and protecting data, delivering personalized experiences without compromising privacy-by-design principles.

Responsibilities

• Define the long-term roadmap for a dedicated privacy engineering function, including strategy for team growth and investment.
• Map the entire data ecosystem across Essential and the OS, covering signals, SDKs, cloud services, and storage, into a single source of truth.
• Drive the engineering backlog to prioritize and close critical security gaps, with a focus on access hygiene, pipeline security, and encryption standards.
• Translate GDPR and global regulatory frameworks into concrete technical specifications, with consent, retention, and deletion logic baked into the codebase.
• Build risk-based guardrails that let product teams ship features fast without bypassing security reviews.
• Work closely with Design and Brand to create transparent privacy controls and prompts that help users understand exactly how their data is used.
• Own relationships with external security specialists and auditors to validate our architecture against global standards and lead incident response when needed.

Requirements

• Deep technical fluency in modern cloud stacks (AWS/GCP), API architectures, and identity management, with the ability to separate real security risks from noise.
• Proven experience applying privacy engineering to live consumer products, with the judgment to know when to call legal and when to make the call yourself.
• A high sense of ownership, with the drive to take ambiguous requirements through to full technical resolution without constant direction.
• A background in privacy engineering, security architecture, or technical product management inside a data-rich consumer tech environment.
• A pragmatic approach to shipping: you prioritize safe, functional products and understand the trade-offs that come with moving fast.
• Clear, direct communication skills. You write documentation that engineers, lawyers, and leadership all understand, and you bring people along without losing the detail.
• A genuine desire to change how the industry handles data, building practices designed to earn trust rather than maximise collection.
