Privacy and Compliance Engineer

TL;DR - We're looking for a Privacy and Compliance Engineer who thrives at the intersection of technology, regulation, and trust. One week you'll be shaping our global privacy framework. Next, you'll be working hand-in-hand with engineers to design compliant yet frictionless AI-powered features. You think about risks and safeguards, but your instinct is always: how do we protect users while enabling Lovable to move fast and build boldly? Deep privacy knowledge + practical compliance instincts + ability to ship with engineering = you.

Lovable lets anyone and everyone build software with plain English. From solopreneurs to Fortune 100 teams, millions of people use Lovable to transform raw ideas into real products - fast. We are at the forefront of a foundational shift in software creation, which means you have an unprecedented opportunity to change the way the digital world works. Over 2 million people in 200+ countries already use Lovable to launch businesses, automate work, and bring their ideas to life. And we're just getting started.

We're a small, talent-dense team building a generation-defining company from Stockholm. We value extreme ownership, high velocity and low-ego collaboration. We seek out people who care deeply, ship fast, and are eager to make a dent in the world.

• 5+ years in data protection, privacy, or compliance roles ideally ideally as an engineer.

• Deep understanding of GDPR, EU AI Act, and global privacy frameworks.

• You are experienced in building tools, scripting, or coding solutions to automate compliance checks and procedures, enabling privacy features to be deployed at scale.

• You have a builder mindset and don't just write policies, you design practical frameworks that scale with product and engineering.

• You can balance compliance requirements with business realities. You know when to push back and when to propose pragmatic solutions.

• Skilled communicator. Clear, confident, and persuasive. Able to explain complex regulations to engineers, execs, and customers alike.

• Privacy is often about details. You notice what others miss and care about getting it right.

• Comfortable working in a high-velocity startup where laws evolve and priorities shift quickly. Nothing is beneath you, from reviewing a DPIA to jumping on a customer compliance call.

• Passionate user of Lovable.

In one sentence: Build and lead an engineering-first and world-class privacy and compliance function that lets Lovable scale responsibly and globally.

• Own and evolve Lovable's privacy and compliance strategy.

• Ensure GDPR, EU AI Act, and other global requirements are embedded into product and operations - ideally, by you,or your close peers under your supervision.

• Create and deploy automated solutions that enable privacy controls (such as data anonymization, access logging, or consent management) to be rolled out efficiently across large-scale environments.

• Lead risk assessments, DPIAs, and audits - finding how to improve and scale Lovable as the most secure, compliant and safe company and product.

• Manage security, privacy, and compliance certifications (ISO, SOC 2, etc.) together with our security and infra teams.

• Educate and enable the team and make privacy and compliance something everyone understands and takes pride in. Security advocacy.

• Be the voice of trust and support customer conversations and represent Lovable externally on compliance and privacy matters.
