Job description
from Waymo careersWaymo is an autonomous driving technology company with the mission to be the world's most trusted driver. Since its start as the Google Self-Driving Car Project in 2009, Waymo has focused on building the Waymo Driver—The World's Most Experienced Driver™—to improve access to mobility while saving thousands of lives now lost to traffic crashes. The Waymo Driver powers Waymo’s fully autonomous ride-hail service and can also be applied to a range of vehicle platforms and product use cases. The Waymo Driver has provided over ten million rider-only trips, enabled by its experience autonomously driving over 100 million miles on public roads and tens of billions in simulation across 15+ U.S. states.
As Waymo prepares to bring the Waymo Driver to European markets, we are seeking a Privacy Engineer to lead the technical architectural design and implementation of our global privacy systems.
In this role, you will bridge the gap between legal requirements (GDPR) and technical reality. You will not just "manage" compliance; you will build the actual engines, data pipelines, and anonymization frameworks that allow our autonomous vehicles to operate in strict regulatory environments. You will work closely with Legal, Product, and AI/ML teams to ensure that Privacy by Design is baked into our sensor data ingestion, mapping technologies, and rider experience from day one.
