📋 Description

• Build and maintain privacy-first, distributed data systems and consent management systems that comply with consumer privacy regulations. • Design and operate high-throughput, event-driven architectures (e.g., Kafka, streaming systems) for collection, processing, and distribution of first-party data. • Contribute to authentication and identity systems, including user lifecycle management, access controls, and multi-factor authentication. • Architect and scale asynchronous data pipelines and event processing systems for real-time and batch use cases. • Partner with marketing and growth teams to enable privacy-compliant advertising, CRM, and analytics workflows. • Implement privacy-preserving techniques (e.g., anonymization, tokenization, minimization) and ensure compliant data flows to third-party platforms. • Collaborate with security and legal teams to enforce data governance, retention, and compliance policies.
