DuckDuckGo is an independent Internet privacy company dedicated to providing users with tools that enhance their online privacy. Best known for its search engine, DuckDuckGo offers a free web browser and browser extensions for iOS, Android, Mac, and Windows that include built-in privacy features such as tracker blocking, encryption, and email protection. Unlike traditional search engines and browsers that track search and browsing history, DuckDuckGo prioritizes user privacy by preventing tracking and targeted advertising. The company operates on the premise that privacy should be simple and accessible, offering a private alternative to major tech companies while remaining financially sustainable through non-invasive ads based on search results rather than personal data.

📋 Description

• Working on the Privacy Functional Team, you'll lead complex projects across key company-wide objectives. • You'll protect the privacy of our users using Go, Node.js, Python, and (sometimes) Perl to write pragmatic, performant, testable code, and work on related projects. • Potential projects include designing systems for improving our search indexes and AI features without compromising user privacy. • Building new features on top of our Tracker Radar crawler to detect emerging privacy threats. • Implementing new privacy features and maintaining existing ones, such as our Web Tracking and Email Protections. • A key part of the role will also be participation in our privacy review and audit processes, ensuring that all product developments align with our privacy principles. • In time, you'll formally mentor other engineers, supporting their career growth and the growth of the Privacy Team at DuckDuckGo.

🎯 Requirements

• Ability to lead and collaborate on high-impact and complex projects from proposal through post-mortem. • Skills to wrangle vague problems, propose innovative solutions, and execute them effectively, involving others when necessary. • Experience working on privacy solutions in an engineering capacity (e.g. tracker blocker, differential privacy, or similar technology). • Deep technical understanding of online privacy threats and the existing solution space to protect against them. • Proficiency in any of the following: Go, Node.js, Python, Perl. • Excellent communication skills. You can validate your decisions and communicate them clearly to a variety of audiences, including non-technical stakeholders.
