Job description

We're transforming the grocery industry

At Instacart, we invite the world to share love through food because we believe everyone should have access to the food they love and more time to enjoy it together. Where others see a simple need for grocery delivery, we see exciting complexity and endless opportunity to serve the varied needs of our community. We work to deliver an essential service that customers rely on to get their groceries and household goods, while also offering safe and flexible earnings opportunities to Instacart Personal Shoppers.

Instacart has become a lifeline for millions of people, and we’re building the team to help push our shopping cart forward. If you’re ready to do the best work of your life, come join our table.

Instacart is a Flex First team

There’s no one-size fits all approach to how we do our best work. Our employees have the flexibility to choose where they do their best work—whether it’s from home, an office, or your favorite coffee shop—while staying connected and building community through regular in-person events. Learn more about our flexible approach to where we work.

Overview

We're looking for an experienced Senior Engineering Manager to join our growing Privacy Engineering team within Security Engineering. The Senior Engineering Manager of Privacy Engineering will be primarily responsible for the continued evolution of our privacy capabilities, including access request and deletion processing, annotating and securing sensitive information such as personally identifiable information (PII), and effectively managing third party marketing trackers. 

You will lead the Privacy Engineering team in delivering privacy-by-design solutions that provide shared controls, data lifecycle management tooling, and other privacy-enhancing technologies that product teams utilize to embed privacy as a core feature in their products. Your commitment to applying secure privacy capabilities to business and technology challenges in clean & innovative ways will make you a trusted advisor to your partners and their teams. You will own projects and influence our direction and impact the business in tangible, visible ways, always having a seat at the table.

About the Team 

The Privacy Engineering team is a platform team in the Security Engineering organization that believes it should be easy to build products that respect our user’s privacy. To do this, we manage our internal data privacy architecture that includes systems to annotate, find, and delete data across production and offline data storage systems. Additionally, we build the front end components that product teams across Instacart use to give our users direct access to these internal systems.

The Privacy team is a member of our core Privacy working group, that includes our Legal team, Compliance team, Operations teams, and privacy partners for each of our main product pillars. Additionally we work closely with our Infrastructure, Data Platform, and Security engineering teams to ensure privacy controls are in place effectively across all levels of our stack.
