About the Role
We are looking for a Senior Pipeline Engineer to join our Central Technology team in London HQ. This role involves designing and building high-performance processing pipelines that sit at the trust layer of our technology, contributing to the foundational platforms, tools, and capabilities that power LEGO's digital future.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement high-performance data processing pipelines in C, C++ or Rust, owning correctness, throughput, latency, and memory characteristics.
- Build cryptographic components for the pipeline layer, including signing and verification, key derivation, content hashing, and chain-of-custody primitives.
- Design and implement security enforcement and moderation automation pipelines for content inspection, policy evaluation, and classification processing.
- Define and maintain the performance envelope for pipeline components, profiling, benchmarking, and optimizing hot paths.
- Collaborate with security and compliance teams to ensure pipeline outputs meet COPPA, GDPR, and brand integrity requirements.
- Work with infrastructure engineers on the deployment characteristics of pipeline services in cloud environments.
- Define interfaces and data contracts for consuming ML inference outputs within pipeline stages.
- Produce pipeline component documentation, interface specifications, and integration guidance.
Requirements
- A degree in computer science or a related discipline, or demonstrated equivalent capability through professional practice.
- Deep hands-on experience writing production-quality C, C++ or Rust in a performance-critical context.
- Demonstrable ability to reason about memory layout, throughput, latency, and concurrency.
- Experience designing and implementing cryptographic systems or primitives in production.
- Proven ability to build and optimize data processing pipelines (streaming, batch, or hybrid).
- Profiling, benchmarking, and performance debugging are routine tasks.
- Working knowledge of concurrency and parallelism patterns relevant to high-throughput pipeline engineering.
- Familiarity with content provenance or chain-of-custody systems.
- Clear understanding of security engineering principles as they apply to systems-level code.
- Comfortable operating across the stack, from low-level component design to integration with cloud-deployed services.
- Strong written communication skills for specifying interfaces, documenting components, and explaining performance trade-offs.
- Sound engineering judgment regarding optimization, simplification, and design completion.
