This pivotal role is essential for advancing and carrying out our comprehensive information security, data privacy, and regulatory compliance initiatives across the organization. The Senior Privacy Engineer will be instrumental in building and maintaining the infrastructure and processes necessary to sustain a robust, enterprise-wide data privacy program.
This is a proactive, technical leadership role responsible for designing, developing, and implementing complex, scalable data privacy solutions, and requires a strong software engineering background and experience in core principles of modern privacy laws including Transparency, Individual Rights, Consent & Opt-Out, and Data Minimization
