Senior Engineer - Privacy EngineeringRemote - Americas
Shopify · Posted today
"Build the DSAR, PII redaction, and opt-out systems that make privacy requests real for millions of Shopify merchants and their customers."
Senior Engineer - Privacy Engineering Remote - Americas As a Senior Engineer on the Privacy Engineering team, you'll work on systems that directly protect the privacy rights of millions of merchants and their customers. The work is technically challenging — solving ambiguous problems across multiple systems where correctness has legal consequences. It's operationally demanding (on-call, incident response, compliance deadlines) and genuinely impactful (the systems you build have real legal and human consequences if they fail).
About the team Privacy Engineering is the team that makes privacy work at scale — not as a policy checkbox, but as real infrastructure. We build and own the systems that let Shopify reliably handle millions of data subject requests across every surface of the platform: DSAR orchestration, PII redaction, compliance tooling, and the event pipelines that enforce privacy by default. When a merchant, or their customer requests their data be deleted, when someone opts out of data sale, or when a regulatory deadline hits — our systems are what make it happen. The problems are genuinely hard, the consequences are real, and the work has direct visibility into Shopify's company priorities. We sit at the intersection of engineering, data, and compliance, coordinating across Identity, Data Platform, Data Governance, Streaming Platform, and Legal. This is a team that ships. We bias toward action, iterate quickly, and trust each other to own outcomes. We use AI tools extensively — Claude Code and Pi are part of our daily workflow for code generation, context gathering, PR reviews, and system investigation.
