Google's looking for privacy engineers http://j.mp/10AZxpx (Google) "As a Privacy Engineer, you will lead the creation of product privacy guidelines, design review, privacy audits, risk analysis and application-level vulnerability testing across Google products. In this role, you will be analyzing software designs and implementations from a privacy and UX perspective and working to drive privacy best practices across the company. You will develop technical solutions to help mitigate privacy vulnerabilities and evangelize strong privacy design across Google ..." - - - I'm pretty sure I could count on one hand how many times I've sent job-related items to any of my lists, but I'd like to give this listing a personal endorsement, because it's really very important. One way or another, I've interacted with quite a few of the folks at Google who deal with privacy-related issues. There is not a single instance where I found them to be anything other than utterly dedicated to trying to find practical, forward-looking paths through the twisty maze of incredibly complex issues that involve privacy for vast numbers of persons at global scale. It is an immensely complicated, multifaceted, and multidisciplinary area, and anyone who insists that there are truly simple solutions is either living in the past through rose-tinted glasses, otherwise out of touch with the reality of these issues, or being purposely misleading. Navigating privacy issues as optimally as possible is one of the crucial challenges of the century, and while it's impossible for Google or anyone else to do this all in a way that can satisfy everyone, I just can't emphasize enough how important roles like this are -- not just for Google's users, but to all of us, everywhere, on the Internet and off. If you feel that you meet the qualifications or equivalents, you really want to make a difference, and are in one of the listed cities for this job (Mountain View [Googleplex], London, Kirkland, NYC, or Zurich), I'd personally urge you to consider this seriously. --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein (lauren@vortex.com): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info - Data Wisdom Explorers League: http://www.dwel.org - Global Coalition for Transparent Internet Performance: http://www.gctip.org Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://vortex.com/g+lauren / Twitter: http://vortex.com/t-lauren Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com _______________________________________________ nnsquad mailing list http://lists.nnsquad.org/mailman/listinfo/nnsquad
