What is Privado?
-----------------
Privado is an open source static code analysis tool to discover data flows in the code. It detects the personal data being processed, and further maps the journey of the data from the point of collection to going to interesting sinks such as third parties, databases, logs, and internal APIs.

Who is it for?
-----------------
1. Privacy Engineers
2. Data Protection Engineers
3. Data Governance Engineers
4. Security Engineers
5. Mobile App Developers
6. Developers

How does it help?
-----------------
Privado let’s Engineer ask contextual questions on usage of sensitive data at scale.
Examples:
"Hello, User Accounts API Repository. Has any sensitive data been leaked to a log file?"
“Hello, HealthCare App Repository. Can you tell me all the variables that process patient's medicine data? And are they shared with Google Analytics?”
“Hey, Payments Micro-service Repository, is credit card data tokenized and encrypted?"
“Hey, Food Delivery Mobile App Repository, can you tell me if the User Location data is shared with this weird S3 bucket?"

Engineering Intern

Leading Privado.ai as Founder and CTO, our mission is to embed privacy into the DNA of software engineering. Overseeing the development of Privado, our open-source tool, we enable engineers to manage sensitive data with unmatched precision. This endeavor reflects our core value of making privacy a fundamental aspect of technology.

We’re Hiring: GenAI Engineers

We’re building autonomous AI agents that plan, reason, and pull off complex privacy + compliance workflows.

You’ll be designing LLM-powered agents that think, plan, and execute on their own - from scanning code for privacy violations to running full-on compliance assessments.

Can you:
 - Architect multi-agent systems that don’t hallucinate?
 - Build RAG pipelines that actually fetch the right context?
 - Make agents bounce back gracefully when things break?
 - Design memory for long-running workflows?
 - Get LLMs to juggle 20+ tools without falling apart?

If yes, we should talk. Drop your application through the link in the comment.

The Engineer Who Notices the Unnoticed

Every team has that one engineer.

The one who:
 - spots a 1px misalignment no one else sees.
 - knows “fast” isn’t fast enough if the animation feels janky.
 - ensures a modal closes just as smoothly with the keyboard as with a mouse.

That’s the difference between software that works and software that people trust. 

At Privado, we’re looking for that engineer.

Not just someone who can code in React + TypeScript (though you’ll do plenty of that). But someone who believes details create trust.

Because when our users ( privacy lawyers, compliance teams, privacy engineers ) use our product, those details aren’t “nice to have.” They are the difference between confidence and doubt.

If you take pride in the invisible craft of UI, we’d love to talk.
