Member of Technical Staff - Principal Software Engineer - Health Privacy & Compliance
About the role
Be the primary point of contact for privacy, compliance, and regulatory matters within the engineering team - the person product and engineering turn to for guidance, design review, and decisions. Ensure products such as Copilot Health are designed and built in a privacy-preserving way, embedding data minimization, purpose limitation, and privacy-by-design into architecture from the outset. Translate complex health and data-protection regulations - including UK and EU GDPR, HIPAA, and the EU AI Act - into concrete technical
requirements, engineering guardrails, and automated, continuously verifiable controls. Lead privacy and security design reviews and threat modeling for new features and models, identifying risks early and architecting practical, scalable mitigations. Design and build foundational privacy infrastructure: data classification, policy-driven access controls, consent and preference management, audit logging, data lineage, and retention and lifecycle controls. Evaluate and apply privacy-enhancing technologies - such as differential privacy, de-identification, secure enclaves, and federated approaches - where they meaningfully reduce risk to users. Build reusable libraries, patterns, and tooling that let every engineer ship privacy-preserving features by default, and raise
the team's privacy and compliance fluency through mentorship and clear standards. Partner across legal, compliance, security, and product to balance strong user protections with product velocity, and to support audits, certifications, and regulator-facing evidence. Stay ahead of emerging health-privacy regulation and industry practice, bringing that perspective into roadmaps before
requirements become blockers. Extensive professional software engineering experience building and operating production systems at scale, with significant depth in privacy, security, or data protection. Strong programming skills in at least one major language (e.g., C#, Python, Go, Java, or similar) and a track record of shipping reliable backend and infrastructure systems. Demonstrated ability to translate privacy and regulatory
