• Work closely with the legal team to document and evaluate internal compliance practices, ensuring alignment with legal requirements and organizational standards, and conduct thorough internal audits to maintain the highest levels of compliance and integrity.
• Coordinate and actively participate in privacy incident response efforts.

This role may be a great fit if you:

• Have substantial experience in building (and re-engineering) production systems to meet legal requirements, manage increased scale, and uphold privacy and security standards.
• Have led or been a significant contributor to security projects, demonstrating a cross-functional collaboration skill set.
• Deeply care about user experience and take pride in developing products that meet customer needs whilst drawing on experience in threat modeling, secure design, and regulatory compliance.
• Possess a humble attitude, strong communication skills, and an eagerness to support your colleagues, reflecting a readiness to do whatever is necessary for team success.
• Take responsibility for problems from beginning to end, demonstrating problem-solving abilities and preparedness to acquire any missing knowledge necessary to get the job done.
