Role Overview

This is a remote, Exempt, Full Time position based in the United States. The successful candidate must have valid work authorization, as visa sponsorship is not available. This role reports directly to our Engineering Manager.

Transcend is seeking a highly motivated and talented Senior Software Engineer to build software that helps companies tackle tough privacy challenges. In addition to working on the core Transcend application, you will contribute to products and initiatives such as:

• Consent: Collect & enforce user consent, and provide our customers with useful tools to consume that consent data. One of these tools functions similarly as a firewall running on your browser to selectively block or allow data to be sent out to backend servers. Other tools provide APIs & UIs to access consent data to ensure user consent is respected before being used by internal systems.
• Preference Management: A set of tools to collect user preferences on the frontend and then propagate this data to customer backend systems and our consent enforcement layer.
• Workflows: The core execution engine and the web-based configuration and monitoring surface for our workflows processes. Our workflows engine enables our customers to service customer data requests (Delete My Data, Do not Sell, etc.), enforce data minimization/data retention policies, and propagate user preferences to downstream systems.

What you'll do

• Collaborate with product managers and designers to build business-critical features. You will think critically about the implications of what you’re building, and how it relates to the overarching privacy goals of our customers.
• Ship production-ready code that’s easy to iterate on. You know what tests to write, what to log, what metrics to capture, and what alerts to set up.
• Work across the stack to deliver features: Typescript, React, GraphQL, Node.js, PostgreSQL, AWS. If you work on the Consent & Preferences product lines, you’ll also get to work with native browser APIs and mobile SDKs.
• Participate in roadmap discussions and technical design reviews. Weigh in on trade-offs between performance, cost, reliability, and scale for services that are called millions of times per second.
• Proactively fix production and development issues. Use metrics and observability tools to investigate problems and find root causes. Contribute to a culture of reflection and continuous improvement to better understand why development issues come up and how we can do better in the future.

Who you are

• You have 4-6 years of experience in software engineering, with an emphasis on backend or full-stack development. DevOps experience is a big plus!
• You take charge of your own professional and technical learning. You know when to ask for help and when to try to solve a problem on your own. You strike a good
  balance between learning how something works deeply and getting a task done. You actively seek feedback from others to improve your own work.
• You’re able to identify trade-offs and take them into consideration when making decisions. You care about business impact and prioritize projects accordingly. You’re not just going after the latest cool tech. You understand the balance between craft, speed, and the bottom line.
• You are effective at async and online methods of communication. Our team is remote, so the ability to clearly and thoughtfully communicate despite the space and time barriers is very important.

Role Overview

Transcend is seeking highly motivated and experienced Engineering Managers. The ideal candidate is a player-coach engineering leader, someone who can manage a high-performing team in a fast-paced environment, and who is able to deep-dive into the stack when necessary. 

We are looking for Engineering Managers to lead our following teams:

• Consent Configuration & Regulation - Collect & enforce user consent, and provide our customers with useful tools to consume that consent data.

Other tools provide APIs & UIs to access consent data to ensure user consent is respected before being used by internal systems.
• Assessments & Platform - Own the Assessments product and core platform capabilities. Assessments enables customers to create, assign, and manage privacy compliance reviews -- including DPIAs, vendor risk assessments, and AI governance assessments -- with automated triggers, approval workflows, and direct output to Records of Processing Activities (RoPAs) and the Data Inventory. On the platform side, the team owns cross-product infrastructure like the task management system (action items, notifications, error routing), audit logs, data reports, and shared UX patterns -- working across the full stack in TypeScript, React, and GraphQL against Postgres at meaningful scale.
