About this role

Fireworks AI is seeking a Privacy Program Engineer to own the technical core of its privacy program, operating remotely in the United States and suiting professionals with a background in privacy operations and engineering automation. Reporting to the Privacy Lead, this remote position involves designing and maintaining technical systems, automations, and tools to meet enterprise privacy obligations.

Role Overview

Fireworks AI is hiring a Privacy Program Engineer to manage the technical aspects of the privacy framework. The company has achieved certifications including ISO 27001, ISO 27701, ISO 42001, and SOC 2 Type II, while maintaining active GDPR and CCPA/CPRA programs. This position suits an individual with hands-on technical skills who prefers building automated systems over managing ticket queues.

Key Responsibilities

Build the privacy automation layer by creating scripts, scheduled jobs, API integrations, and LLM-based agents for request routing, evidence collection, assessment intake, and control monitoring.
Manage the data subject rights (DSR) program by building automated pipelines for intake, identity verification, fan-out across data stores, and fulfillment tracking with automatic audit trails.
Maintain a dynamic data inventory and Record of Processing Activities (ROPA) derived directly from cloud APIs, warehouse metadata, Infrastructure as Code, and service catalogs.
Embed privacy into engineering designs by reviewing pull requests, advising on de-identification, pseudonymization, tokenization, field-level encryption, and access scoping.
Translate data retention requirements into concrete rules per data store, collaborate with engineering on pipeline enforcement, and verify data deletion.
Support consent management and preference handling across web properties and product surfaces.
Trace customer data movement through training, fine-tuning, inference, and logging to validate zero-retention and isolation claims.

Requirements

Possess 4 to 7 years of professional experience in privacy, GRC, IT audit, information security, or a closely related field with hands-on privacy work.
Working knowledge of GDPR and CCPA/CPRA, alongside familiarity with ISO 27701, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, SOC 2, and NIST frameworks.
Experience with technical privacy operations such as data subject requests, ROPA maintenance, privacy impact assessments, and retention enforcement.
Demonstrated capability to automate tasks using AI tooling, scripts, or workflow builders.
Working proficiency in SQL and at least one scripting language to query data warehouses, call APIs, and parse schemas independently.
Hands-on familiarity with cloud environments like AWS, GCP, or Azure, covering IAM, access scoping, logging, and data store retention behaviors.
Strong written communication skills to translate privacy requirements for engineering and non-technical stakeholders.

Nice to Have

Experience building systems with an LLM API or agent framework.
Background in de-identification or synthetic data techniques.
Exposure to data lineage or catalog tooling such as dbt, DataHub, Atlan, Monte Carlo, or OpenMetadata.
Prior experience solving privacy or security problems specifically at an AI or machine learning company.
Background working in a startup or fast-growing SaaS organization.
