About the role

We are seeking a talented and creative Privacy Engineer to join our Engineering team As a Privacy Engineer at Character.AI, you'll partner closely with our Legal and Product teams to develop thoughtful privacy frameworks for Character's growing platform and build the technology that powers them. This is an exciting opportunity to jump into the cutting-edge field of AI privacy and help shape the next generation of privacy architecture.

Among the critical tasks you'll take on:
  • Develop technical systems to operationalize privacy controls
  • Work with the Legal team to define data minimization, retention, and deletion protocols and build the technology to implement them
  • Build lightweight, user-friendly user interfaces to maximize user control over data, in partnership with the Product team
  • Partner with the Data team to implement data governance solutions
  • Establish a framework and build tools to anonymize both third-party and user data
  • Partner with the Security team on data protection issues
Requirements:
  • 5+ years experience building and scaling backend systems to support a fast-growing consumer application
  • 3+ years experience working on privacy or data governance-related Engineering projects
  • Experience writing highly performant services and strong knowledge of Python and/or Golang
  • Designing, implementing, and maintaining individual microservices that collectively form complex, scalable backend systems
  • Extensive experience with various database technologies, both relational (like PostgreSQL) and NoSQL (such as MongoDB, Cassandra, or DynamoDB). Proficiency in database design, sharding, replication, and tuning for high-traffic environments is highly desirable
  • Familiarity with major cloud service providers such as GCP, AWS, and/or Azure
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a knack for identifying and addressing bottlenecks, ensuring that backend systems perform optimally under varying loads
  • Proven ability to work collaboratively with product managers, designers, and frontend engineers to conceive, design, and implement new features that enhance user experience
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to cross-functional teams and stakeholders
  • B.S. in Computer Science or equivalent experience.
You will be a good fit if:
  • You are proactive and have a "get things done" mindset
  • You enjoy working cross-functionally across different teams (e.g. Legal and Product) and balancing privacy and product needs
  • You're excited to create new technological systems from the ground up
  • You care deeply about user privacy and data governance
  • You're willing to tackle new challenges and new responsibilities as the company grows
  • You have a passion for creating innovative AI experiences, and you're enthusiastic to lay the groundwork for our product teams to harness the power of AI.
