Privacy Engineer

Privacy compliance that lives only in a policy document, disconnected from the actual codebase, doesn't hold up when a regulator or a customer asks for proof. We build PII discovery, data minimization, consent enforcement, and right-to-be-forgotten pipelines directly into your code and data infrastructure, so privacy requirements are enforced automatically rather than depending on someone remembering to follow the policy. This is for teams facing GDPR, CCPA, or similar obligations who need privacy engineered in, not bolted on after an audit finding. You get pipelines that actually delete what they're supposed to delete, with the evidence to show it.

This is a capability we deliver for you as a service, not a role we’re hiring for.

How We’d Approach This

A clear, staged plan, not a black box

These are the service-specific steps inside our six-step process.

  1. 1

    Audit where PII actually lives across your systems and where consent and deletion requirements aren't enforced.

  2. 2

    Build a pilot deletion or consent-enforcement pipeline for one data source to prove the approach works.

  3. 3

    Review the pilot's completeness with legal or compliance stakeholders before expanding to remaining systems.

  4. 4

    Roll out PII discovery, minimization, and deletion pipelines across your data infrastructure with audit logging.
