  • Proficiency in programming languages such as Swift, Objective-C, JavaScript, C/C++, Java, TypeScript, React, Angular, Ember, or Vue
  • BS or MS in Computer Science or equivalent industry experience
  • Industry experience in Privacy-Enhancing Technologies for large-scale distributed systems

Responsibilities

  • Design and implement innovative privacy-preserving systems for ASE products and services
  • Develop frameworks and tools to collect analytics data across multiple platforms
  • Own the end-to-end product lifecycle for client instrumentation capabilities
  • Manage the design, launch, and support of new data infrastructure for analytics needs
  • Advise stakeholders on the impact of analytics-related requests on engineering systems
  • Lead discussions with privacy and legal teams to balance analytics needs with consumer privacy
