Your New Role…
As a Senior Software Engineer on CNN’s Privacy & Governance team, you will be responsible for building privacy‑forward systems that safeguard the personal data and rights of millions of users across CNN’s web platforms. You will operate at the intersection of engineering, data governance, and regulatory compliance, designing and implementing solutions that embed across our architecture.
In this role, you will work closely with product, legal, security, and platform engineering teams to develop privacy-centric web features, enforce compliant data handling practices, and support scalable services that enable consent management, data minimization, regulatory readiness, and user transparency. Your work will directly influence how data is collected, stored, processed, and shared—helping ensure CNN remains a trusted and responsible steward of user information.
Your Role Accountabilities…
Design, build, and maintain full-stack web features that uphold privacy principles, such as consent management UIs, privacy settings dashboards, data access & deletion flows, and user transparency tools.
Develop and optimize backend services and APIs supporting data governance, auditing, telemetry minimization, event tagging, and compliant tracking.
Collaborate with legal, product, data, and security teams to implement solutions aligned with GDPR, GPP, CCPA/CPRA, and other global privacy regulations.
Integrate with internal and external privacy tools, such as consent management platforms (CMPs), preference centers, identity systems, or data subject request pipelines.
Contribute to architectural decisions that promote data minimization, secure data flows, and consistent enforcement of privacy policies across applications.
Perform code reviews, enforce engineering best practices, and ensure strong test coverage across both frontend and backend components.
Debug and resolve privacy-related issues across the full web stack, ensuring consistent experiences across browsers, devices, and regions.
Document and communicate engineering decisions and privacy implementations to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Qualifications & Experience…
5+ years of experience building modern web applications, including significant full‑stack development experience (frontend + backend).
Proficiency with modern frontend technologies such as JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Next.js, or similar frameworks.
Strong backend experience with Node.js, Java, Kotlin, Go, or similar server-side languages—including API design and data workflow implementation.
Hands-on experience implementing privacy features for web applications (e.g., consent banners, preference centers, cookie management, data deletion & access flows).
Deep understanding of web data flows, including cookies, local storage, event tagging, tracking scripts, and browser-based privacy restrictions.
Familiarity with global regulatory frameworks (e.g., GDPR, CCPA, CPRA) and how they impact full-stack web architecture and data lifecycle management.
Experience with large-scale consumer websites or media organizations is a plus.
Proficiency with modern build tools, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
