Our backend systems power the frontend clients used by millions of customers every year to buy their groceries online. These systems must also support tight integration with the largest retailers in the US and Canada.

As a Senior Software Engineer in our Privacy Engineering team, you will be responsible for building the core privacy components that product teams across Instacart use to ensure our Customers can be in control of their data. In this role you will help connect our Customers to cutting edge privacy systems we have developed and deployed internally.
The Privacy team is a platform team in the Security Engineering organization that believes it should be easy to build products that respect our user’s privacy. To do this, we manage our internal data privacy architecture that includes systems to annotate, find, and delete data across production and offline data storage systems. Additionally, we build the front end components that product teams across Instacart use to give our users direct access to these internal systems.
The Privacy team is a member of our core Privacy working group, that includes our Legal team, Compliance team, Operations team, and privacy partners for each of our main product pillars. Additionally we work closely with our Infrastructure, Data Platform, and Security engineering teams to ensure privacy controls are in place effectively across all levels of our stack.
