You’ll own your scope end to end—from raw requirements to large-scale production systems that satisfy legal invariants and enable new possibilities. Your systems will be dependable and scalable *and* interpretable and auditable, so skeptical audiences can understand how results were produced and why they can be trusted. You’ll partner closely with internal teams (Privacy, Security, Research, Infra, and Legal) to translate needs into sound approaches and realistic timelines. You’ll also act as a trusted advisor—explaining technical constraints to inform legal decisions and proactively designing approaches to prevent classes of problems. --- **Key responsibilities** - Build and operate dedicated cloud infrastructure, storage, and data pipelines for specialized workloads that can’t run on general-purpose systems - Design architectures with security, privacy, reliability, scalability, and auditability built in - Partner with internal customer teams to translate requirements into sound approaches and realistic ETAs - Deliver against fixed deadlines - Support complex and novel legal requests on controlled infrastructure with verifiable chain of custody - Pair with engineering teams to extend infrastructure for new workflows and/or legal requests - Work with nontechnical stakeholders to clarify needs through responsive, easy-to-follow dialogue --- **Minimum qualifications** - Experience designing, building, and operating highly trusted infrastructure and data systems in production, including owning architectural decisions - Experience working across large, complex, multi-team environments (including stacks/code you don’t own) - Ability to take ownership of a cloud account and secure it end to end (networking, storage, identity, encryption, least-privilege provisioning, etc.) on AWS and/or GCP - Ability to translate legal and privacy requirements into technical designs teams can adopt - A habit of verifying rather than assuming (designing checks for invariants and naming what isn’t proved) - Self-directed in a high-change environment; comfortable resequencing quickly when needs emerge - Clear communication with nontechnical stakeholders --- **Preferred qualifications** - Software engineering experience with an infrastructure, data, privacy, and/or security focus - Proficiency with large-scale data tooling (distributed processing, lakehouse table formats, query engines) - Understanding of data processing pipelines, LLM training, and/or provenance and lineage - Experience with secure enclaves, confidential computing, clean rooms, or other purpose-built environments for sensitive data - Background in eDiscovery, litigation support, or records retention at scale (chain of custody and verifiable integrity) --- **Compensation (Annual Salary)** - **$320,000 — $485,000 USD** --- **Logistics** - **Minimum education:** Bachelor’s degree or equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience - **Required field of study:** Relevant to the role (via coursework, training, or professional experience) - **Minimum years of experience:** Correlates wi
