Privacy Research Engineer, Safeguards

When to Use

Frame privacy research questions for safeguard and moderation stacks
Design PII detection/redaction benchmarks — precision/recall, re-identification risk
Evaluate de-identification techniques (mask, tokenize, synthetic replace) on realistic prompts
Study memorization and extraction — can models or logs leak user content?
Curate privacy-sensitive datasets — synthetic data, consent boundaries, labeling rules
Run ablations on detector architecture, threshold, or post-processing
Define logging minimization — what safety systems may store vs must discard
Write research memos with privacy–utility trade-offs and production recommendations
Specify promotion criteria for privacy mitigations before prod rollout
