Full Job Description
Responsibilities
The TikTok Privacy and Security Product DSR team builds the platform behind data subject requests: the rights users exercise to access, delete, correct, or export their data. The team turns those rights into systems that run accurately, on time, and at global scale, across the products and data stores where that data actually lives. In this role, you will design and build core DSR systems, apply judgment where business goals and compliance meet, and take that work end to end with partner teams. Responsibilities As a Sr. Software Engineer on the TikTok Privacy and Security Product DSR team, you will: - Design, build, and evolve backend systems that improve privacy across TikTok, and help turn repeated requirements into shared platform capabilities. - Make sound business and compliance judgments in the systems you own, and carry the work end to end: problem framing, technical design, delivery, launch, and adoption. - Partner across product, legal, policy, data, and engineering teams. Align on requirements and tradeoffs, and land privacy capabilities in the products and data systems that depend on them. - Work with data and its lifecycle. Implement how data is collected, stored, used, shared, retained, and deleted, and connect those controls to how products operate. - Use data analysis and data processing to measure privacy coverage, risk, and business impact, and extend privacy capabilities into new scenarios and product lines. - Build and operate high-scale backend services, and take part in privacy incident response, including scope, root cause, and remediation.
Qualifications
Minimum Qualification(s) - Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. - Experience building backend services for large-scale, consumer-facing products. - A solid grasp of data, its lifecycle, and how data systems support the business. - Ability to make sound judgments on business and compliance tradeoffs, and to plan and deliver work end to end. - Experience working with partner teams across organizations, and communicating clearly enough to land a shared technical decision. - Proficiency in at least one of Java, Go, C++, or Python. - Strong fundamentals in data structures, algorithms, and backend system design. Preferred Qualification(s) - Experience on a large platform, such as infrastructure, ads, recommendation, or an open platform. - Experience contributing to longer-term platform planning, or turning fragmented capabilities into a shared service. - Hands-on experience with data analysis and data processing, and with using those skills to support new business use cases. - Experience designing or implementing privacy, data governance, or trust and safety features. - Experience operating systems at very large consumer scale.
