Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. 1Password is a cybersecurity company that builds password management and unified access management solutions to support a safe, productive digital future. The Privacy Engineer will build technical controls, automation, and AI-assisted tooling to protect personal data, improve privacy reviews and data-handling practices, and integrate privacy controls across cloud-based products and engineering workflows. The role collaborates with Engineering, Product, Data, Security, and Legal and Privacy teams to make privacy by design scalable and durable.
Responsibilities
- Build and deploy agent-based workflows for privacy engineering processes such as privacy review intake, data subject rights requests, data inventory updates, and telemetry classification
- Build AI-assisted tooling that helps engineering teams identify privacy risks earlier and apply appropriate safeguards with less manual effort
- Implement and improve privacy controls related to authorization, data scoping, retention and deletion, consent signals, and responsible data access
- Integrate privacy tooling with engineering workflows and systems, including continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD), code review, data catalogs, ticketing platforms, and internal services
- Improve the handling of logs and telemetry through classification, minimization, and redaction practices that support useful visibility without unnecessary data collection
- Improve manual and semi-automated privacy processes by developing scalable solutions that increase speed, consistency, and auditability
- Write production-quality code, tests, and documentation while maintaining deployed workflows through monitoring, evaluation, error handling, and ongoing iteration
Skills
- Experience building and shipping production software in a Software as a Service (SaaS), cloud, or similarly complex engineering environment
- Proficiency in at least one backend programming language, such as Python, TypeScript, or Go, along with strong fundamentals in testing, debugging, version control, and maintainable software design
- Experience building with large language model (LLM) systems or comparable AI frameworks, including agents, tool-use pipelines, or multi-step orchestration workflows
- Experience integrating software with external systems through application programming interfaces (APIs), databases, ticketing systems, CI/CD pipelines, or data platforms
- Practical experience with privacy or data-handling concepts such as data minimization, access controls, retention and deletion, consent, or privacy-conscious telemetry, and the ability to translate established privacy requirements into concrete engineering work
- Ability to take ownership of well-defined projects or workstreams from implementation through delivery and collaborate effectively with Security, Engineering, Product, Data, and Legal and Privacy partners
- Experience with privacy regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), or the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), as well as data subject rights workflows, data inventories, third-party integrations, threat modeling, privacy reviews, prompt design, LLM output validation, reliability patterns, or privacy safeguards for AI-assisted features
