Backend Engineer, Privacy

We at Privacy Squad protect our customer’s data by any means necessary. We redesign and shape our system using modern approaches so that sensitive data is secure from the moment it originates. Daily, we think about what data we store, who can access it, whether access is justified.

Security is part of our long-term goals. That’s why we constantly improve our tools for detecting anomalies, fighting bots, and designing our systems so that the communications of our apps and services are protected from adversaries.

We use a product approach and data to ensure the customer experience doesn’t suffer during the process.
