We’re looking for curious, resourceful, and detail-oriented individuals who can solve problems quickly, tackle unscoped problems and translate them into repeatable solutions, and set the pace to go faster for Shopify’s Privacy Compliance team.
As a Staff Technical Privacy Analyst, you’ll apply both your technical systems and privacy expertise to deeply understand and manage privacy risks. You’ll independently read code and technical documents to verify how our systems operate, and own critical privacy issues and decisions from identification to mitigation, working alongside other teams.

Trailblaze Shopify's path to addressing emerging privacy risks and represent privacy compliance to influence cross-company strategic aims across Shopify’s entire stack
Research new privacy enhancing technologies and how they could be used to improve Shopify’s privacy program
Collaborate with product, engineering, data, legal, and security teams to investigate potential privacy issues and recommend solutions
Utilize data and key metrics to understand, communicate, and drive Shopify’s privacy program
Mentor teammates, raise the bar, inspire your subdiscipline, and develop privacy best practices

Reflexive use of AI to accelerate work and solve technical problems
