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.  You’ll work with all major big-data platforms, high-scale data caching systems, and machine-learning platforms.  We’ll design and code solutions across the breadth of Pinterest’s stack to control how restricted data is consumed, and provide teams with the tools to manage the use of their data.

The Data Privacy team is part of a growing group of engineers based in the Pinterest Dublin office, partnering closely with other Data Engineering and Security teams in our US offices.
