Full Job Description

About Hark Hark is an artificial intelligence company building advanced, personalized intelligence. One that is proactive, multimodal, and capable of interacting with the world through speech, text, vision, and persistent memory. We're pairing that intelligence with next-generation hardware to create a universal interface between humans and machines. While today's AI largely operates through chat boxes and decade-old devices, Hark is focused on what comes next: agentic systems that interact naturally with people and the real world. To get there, we're developing multimodal models and next-generation AI hardware together - designed from the ground up as a single, unified interface for a new era of intelligent systems. About the Role We're hiring a Member of Technical Staff (Privacy Engineer) to own privacy infrastructure at Hark. You'll design and build the systems that handle data subject access requests (DSARs), deletion pipelines, de-identification, and consent — and you'll work directly with legal and engineering to translate regulatory requirements into durable technical architecture. This position is focused on technical execution rather than policy. Your primary responsibilities will involve software development, system architecture, and the management of live production infrastructure. Responsibilities Design and build DSAR, deletion, and data retention pipelines across Hark's services. Architect de-identification and tokenization systems for sensitive data (PII, conversation content). Partner with legal and compliance to translate CCPA, GDPR, and other regulatory requirements into technical implementations. Embed privacy-by-design principles into Hark's data infrastructure and product development process. Own privacy incident response and work cross-functionally to resolve data handling issues. Requirements 4–8 years of software engineering experience with a meaningful focus on privacy infrastructure. Hands-on experience building deletion, DSAR, or consent p
