Description
Strength in Trust
OneTrust’s mission is to enable innovation through the responsible use of data and AI. We believe that ensuring data is trusted shouldn’t slow teams down—it should accelerate what’s possible. This led us to develop the first technology platform for responsible data use in 2016. Today, with AI representing the latest and most impactful expansion of data yet, OneTrust is once again redefining what responsible innovation looks like. OneTrust, the AI‑Ready Governance Platform™, unifies regulatory intelligence, automation, and connected governance workflows so businesses can continue to move at the speed of AI while ensuring good governance to prevent data misuse at scale. Trusted by thousands of organizations worldwide, OneTrust is shaping the future where trusted data becomes a transformative force for business and society.
The Challenge
We're looking for a Senior Staff Software Engineer to shape technical strategy across multiple teams or a full product area at OneTrust. Senior Staff Engineers are a recognized technical authority whose decisions on architecture and direction extend well beyond their immediate team.
Your Mission
Strategy & Architecture
-
Define technical direction and architecture for a product area spanning multiple teams.
-
Act independently on significant, unique problems that require evaluating intangible or unprecedented factors.
Cross-Functional Influence
-
Partner with Staff and Principal-level peers, and with Product/UX leadership, to align technical roadmap with business strategy.
-
Build formal cross-group networks; serve as a recognized authority beyond your own team.
Standards & Quality
-
Establish engineering standards that get adopted org-wide within your domain.
Mentorship & Talent Growth
-
Mentor Staff Engineers and contribute to technical leveling and promotion calibration.
You Are
Someone who acts independently on high-ambiguity, high-stakes technical initiatives, and who other engineers seek out before making related decisions. You balance deep technical expertise with the judgment to know when a problem needs broader alignment.
Your Experience Includes
-
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field
-
Experience with Java and backend application development, including designing, building, and operating distributed systems at scale.
-
12+ years of professional software engineering experience
-
Demonstrated track record shaping architecture or technical direction across multiple teams
-
Experience mentoring senior engineers and contributing to technical leveling decisions
-
Identity & Access Management (IAM) experience would be a good addition.
-
Hands-on experience using AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, Devin, Windsurf, or similar) in a professional setting, with genuine enthusiasm for applying AI to accelerate and elevate day-to-day engineering work.
