Team & Mission
The Privacy & Conversion Data team is responsible for how the company safely and compliantly uses conversion data to power monetization. We build and operate the core privacy infrastructure behind ads reporting and optimization, including controlled data environments, fine‑grained access controls, centralized privacy rules enforcement, and de‑identification pipelines for conversion data. Our mission is to make conversion data privacy‑preserving by default—centralized, de‑identified, auditable, and easy for teams to use, while maintaining high utility for advertisers and staying ahead of an evolving global regulatory landscape.
Role Summary
We’re seeking a Staff Engineer to lead the architecture and technical direction for the conversion data privacy platform, spanning both core Conversion Data systems and de‑identification for ads reporting. You’ll own the end‑to‑end design and evolution of privacy‑critical pipelines and services, partner closely with Product, Data Science, Legal, and infrastructure teams, and set the technical bar for how we use conversion data safely at scale.
