Member of Technical Staff - Privacy Engineer, Health
We are seeking a Privacy Engineer specialising in health to help design and deliver technologies that protect sensitive personal and clinical information. You will work at the intersection of software engineering, privacy, security and health data, translating complex regulatory and ethical requirements into practical, scalable solutions.
In this role, you will partner with engineers, product managers, security specialists, legal advisers and clinical or data science teams. You will contribute to the design and review of systems that collect, process, store and share health information, ensuring privacy is built into products and platforms from the outset. You will help identify privacy risks, define appropriate controls and support teams in making informed decisions about data use.
Your responsibilities will include developing privacy-enhancing technologies and patterns, such as data minimisation, pseudonymisation, anonymisation, access controls, retention controls and auditability. You will assess technical designs, conduct privacy threat modelling and support privacy impact assessments. You may also develop tooling, reusable services, testing approaches and automated checks that enable teams to meet privacy requirements consistently and efficiently.
You should have strong software engineering experience, with the ability to design, implement and review production-quality systems. Experience working with health, medical or other highly sensitive data is highly desirable, as is a sound understanding of privacy principles and relevant frameworks such as UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 and, where applicable, international data protection requirements. Familiarity with secure development practices, cloud platforms, distributed systems, data governance or machine learning environments would be beneficial.
We value clear communication, sound judgement and a collaborative approach. You should be comfortable explaining technical privacy concepts to non-specialists, influencing decisions without relying solely on authority and balancing user needs, regulatory obligations and delivery goals. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to trustworthy health technology while helping establish robust engineering practices for privacy at scale.
