The Data Privacy Engineering team builds platforms and works with engineers across Pinterest to help ensure our handling of customer and partner data meets or exceeds their expectations of privacy and security.  We’re a small, and growing, team based in Dublin.  We own three major engineering projects with company-wide impact: expanding and onboarding teams doing big data processing to a new fine-grained data access platform, tracking how data moves and evolves through our systems, and ensuring data is always handled appropriately.  As a Senior Engineer, you’ll take a driving role on one of these projects and responsibility for working with internal teams to understand their needs, designing solutions, and collaborating with teams in Dublin and the US to successfully execute on your plans.  Your work will help ensure the safety of our users’ and partners’ data and help Pinterest be a source of inspiration for millions of users.

• Consult with engineers, product designers, and security experts to design data-handling solutions
• Review code and designs from across the company to guide teams to secure and private solutions
• Onboard customers onto platforms and refine our tools to streamline these processes
• Mentor and coach engineers and grow your technical leadership skills, with engineers in Dublin and other offices.
• Grow your engineering skills as you work with a range of open-source technologies and engineers across the company, and code across Pinterest’s stack in a variety of languages

• 5+ years of experience building enterprise-scale backend services in an object-oriented programing language (Java preferred)
• Experience mentoring junior engineers and driving an engineering culture
• The ability to drive ambiguous projects to successful outcomes independently
• Understanding of big-data processing concepts
• Experience with data querying and analytics techniques
• Strong advocacy for the customer and their privacy
