This includes authentication, user lifecycle management, consent, and data governance-ensuring Ro’s technical foundation supports both patient trust and business growth.\nYou will design, build, and maintain systems that manage customer identity, data preferences, attribution, and event-driven data flows. This work requires strong expertise in distributed systems, event pipelines, and privacy-preserving architectures. You’ll work in a highly cross-functional environment, partnering with security, legal, marketing, and data teams to define solutions that balance compliance, security, and high-quality patient experiences.\nWhat You’ll Do\nBuild and maintain privacy-first, distributed data systems and consent management systems that comply with consumer privacy regulations.\nDesign and operate high-throughput, event-driven architectures (e.g., Kafka, streaming systems) for collection, processing, and distribution of first-party data.\nContribute to authentication and identity systems, including user lifecycle management, access controls, and multi-factor authentication.\nArchitect and scale asynchronous data pipelines and event processing systems for real-time and batch use cases.\nPartner with marketing and growth teams to enable privacy-compliant advertising, CRM, and analytics workflows.\nImplement privacy-preserving techniques (e.g., anonymization, tokenization, minimization) and ensure compliant data flows to third-party platforms.\nCollaborate with security and legal teams to enforce data governance, retention, and compliance policies.\nWhat You’ll Bring to the Team\n8+ years of software engineering experience (2+ years at Staff or above level) with a focus on distributed systems, data infrastructure, privacy, or security.\nStrong proficiency in Python

processing.\nExperience designing and operating data pipelines, eventing systems, and first-party data platforms.\nFamiliarity with authentication and identity systems (e.g., OAuth, session management, MFA, user lifecycle management).\nExperience using agentic coding tools to improve development velocity, reduce workflow friction, automate repetitive tasks, and increase system visibility-while maintaining strong engineering judgment and ownership of outcomes.\nExperience in regulated environments and strong ownership in driving complex, cross-functional technical initiatives.\nWe’ve Got You Covered\nFull medical, dental, and vision insurance + OneMedical membership\nHealthcare and Dependent Care FSA\n401(k) with company match\nFlexible PTO\nWellbeing +
