We build and operate the core privacy infrastructure behind ads reporting and optimization, including controlled data environments, fine‑grained access controls, centralized privacy rules enforcement, and de‑identification pipelines for conversion data. Our mission is to make conversion data privacy‑preserving by default—centralized, de‑identified, auditable, and easy for teams to use, while maintaining high utility for advertisers and staying ahead of an evolving global regulatory landscape. Role Summary We’re seeking a Staff Engineer to lead the architecture and technical direction for the conversion data privacy platform, spanning both core Conversion Data systems and de‑identification for ads reporting.

What we’re looking for: - BS+ in Computer Science (or related field) or equivalent practical experience. - 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a focus on large‑scale data systems or distributed systems. - Strong proficiency building and operating data pipelines and services using Java/Scala/Kotlin or Python, plus SQL; experience with modern big data ecosystems is a plus. - Experience designing secure, reliable systems and APIs, with solid grounding in data modeling, access control, and performance optimization. - Meaningful experience in at least one of: privacy‑preserving data systems (e.g., de‑identification, k‑anonymity), ads measurement/attribution, or large‑scale analytics/experimentation platforms. - Proven ability to drive cross‑team technical initiatives from design through rollout, working closely with product, data science, and non‑engineering partners (e.g., Legal, Compliance). - Strong communication and leadership skills, with a track record of mentoring engineers, raising engineering standards, and making sound decisions in ambiguous, high‑impact problem spaces. In-Office Requirement Statement: - We recognize that the ideal environment for work is situational and may differ across departments.
