AI Cross-Border Data Transfer Auditor Developer

Leo Larsson

Full-time · Job · London

About the role

GDPR Article 44 prohibits transferring personal data outside the EEA without adequate safeguards. But in a cloud-native AI system, data crosses borders invisibly — a training job spins up in us-east-1, a model endpoint caches data in ap-southeast-1, a logging pipeline writes to a US-based analytics service. Our auditor tracks every data movement across regions and flags transfers that violate jurisdictional policies. You'll build the monitoring layer that instruments data flows across cloud services, classifies data by sensitivity and jurisdictional origin, traces its path through the infrastructure, and generates compliance reports that prove to regulators exactly where data went and why. The system must be lightweight enough to not impact performance and comprehensive enough to catch data leakage through logging, caching, and backup systems. The privacy engineering team is four people. You'll be the senior engineer who designs the audit architecture, working with a privacy counsel who defines the jurisdictional rules and a cloud architect who understands the infrastructure topology.
