Twitter is what’s happening and what people are talking about right now. For us, life's not about a job, it's about purpose. We believe real change starts with conversation. Here, your voice matters. Come as you are and together we'll do what's right (not what's easy) to serve the public conversation.

Privacy Engineering works to empower Twitter to build great products and systems which respect the privacy of the people and organizations who use them. We strive to inspire and enable products that are respectful from day one, make it much easier to do right and much harder to do wrong, and galvanize timely and responsible recovery when things go awry.

As a Privacy Engineer, you'll play a meaningful role in our product development process, closely partnering with Twitter's many product and engineering teams to embed sound technical privacy practices in everything we ship and help uncover risks before they become issues.

You will spend a good deal of time spelunking - in other words, exploring the many nooks and crannies of Twitter's products and services, uncovering places where we might want to update the way we look after data or institute a new privacy-preserving technology. You will take system designs or implementations, find the important privacy issues lurking inside, and suggest and drive robust designs to fix them.

You'll share your passion for the privacy engineering mission, and are excited to teach and ready to learn.

• Privacy domain expertise and experience in technical privacy review to find common failures, good design patterns, and tradeoffs.

• Solid command of technical privacy issues within the software and systems development lifecycle: Keen ability to identify common hurdles and solutions to effective privacy and security.

• Builds close partnership across subject areas and teams (e.g. engineering, legal, policy). Can challenge the status quo while remaining pragmatic and engendering trust with partners.

• Grasps business, user, and technical requirements, and can identify and manage sophisticated privacy dependencies in large-scale systems.
