# Software Engineer (Privacy)

- **Company:** Alaners
- **Location:** Spain (Remote available)
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), Python (Programming Language), TypeScript, Data Processing, Backend, Software Coding
- **Published:** November 6, 2026
- **Apply:** https://www.adzuna.es/details/5954151496

## About the Role

* Senior-level experience (typically 8+ years) in backend or platform software engineering, or equivalent, with deep production ownership (API and contract design, data modeling, running what you ship).
 * You've built and operated platforms, libraries, or services that other engineers depend on, and you care about the contract you expose to them.
 * You're comfortable operating across many teams and influencing without authoritarianism: getting legal, security, data, and product crews who don't report to you aligned on a plan, and driving it to completion.
 * You bring pragmatism under constraint: you ship sound, safe solutions and improve them over time, rather than waiting for perfect.
 * Strong plus: prior privacy, GDPR, or data-governance exposure, and experience working in an enabling or platform-team operating model.
 * Explicitly not required: deep legal expertise. Legal and security partner with this role; they don't get replaced by it.

Mindset we value

 * You treat platform engineering as product work: engineers and members are your customers, and doing the right thing with their data should feel effortless.
 * You're hands-on: writing code is the bulk of the job (Python, TypeScript). You ship what you write to production yourself, then operate it: rollouts, alerting, on-call, incident response.
 * You design and communicate: you're as comfortable writing a framing doc, drawing a dependency map, and aligning several areas on a design decision as you are writing the code.
 * You're an enabler: you measure your impact by how fast areas run their own data rules without ever consulting you. The harder you've worked, the less they have to engage you.
 * You build reusable patterns: guardrails, libraries, and safe-by-default abstractions that keep data handling correct and safe by design at scale.
 * You're fluent in English (French is not required).
