Requirements

• A bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• 3+ years of experience in people management leading backend or platform teams
• 8+ years of industry experience
• Extensive experience as an engineer or engineering leader in a fast-paced, platform-focused development environment
• Proven experience designing large-scale distributed systems, service application programming interfaces (APIs), policy or rules engines, workflow orchestration, state machines, data-lifecycle systems, or audit architectures

Nice to Haves

• Preferred experience with privacy, consent, data governance, or regulatory systems, including concepts such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), data-subject rights, retention, deletion, and legal holds

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead and mentor a high-performing team of backend and platform engineers, fostering a culture of ownership, privacy by design, operational excellence, and thoughtful cross-functional partnership
• Drive the technical strategy across the Privacy Center, the Unified Privacy Platform, and Privacy Operations and Intelligence
• Build the cross-brand User Consent Platform, including canonical consent state, policy and configuration management, consent SDKs, audit history, and consistent enforcement across products and jurisdictions
• Deliver simple, self-service experiences for consent and communication preferences, Right to be Forgotten (RTF), Right to Information (RTI), and Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs)
• Turn emerging privacy and regulatory requirements into standardized platform capabilities instead of one-off product implementations
• Lead the migration from fragmented legacy consent systems to a single source of truth across DoorDash, Wolt, and Deliveroo, while managing compatibility and safe deprecation
• Define clear contracts with data-governance fulfillment systems and downstream product and storage teams so privacy actions are traceable, retryable, auditable, and correctly reflected back to users and operators
• Provide architectural guidance for distributed systems that manage sensitive user choices, policy evaluation, orchestration, secure data delivery, reporting, and immutable audit trails
• Partner with recruiting to build a diverse and inclusive team, attracting and retaining exceptional engineering talent

Perks and Benefits

• Strong product sense and the ability to partner effectively with Legal, Product, Design, Security, Data, Marketing, Support, and engineering teams across multiple brands and geographies
• A growth mindset—you are eager to expand your skills, raise the quality bar, and build enduring systems in a rapidly changing environment
