AI Privacy Engineer

Lisboa, Lisbon

At Axians, we value talent, not labels.

We believe in a culture of inclusion, where everyone has a place and all applications are considered based on merit, without discrimination.

This is your opportunity to join an international group with a project that needs you to help meet the challenges of digital transformation.

 

💻 THE ROLE

We are looking for a #TechTalent to work as a AI Privacy Engineer for an international project in the logistic sector.

 

🙂 WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Own the AI data protection gate for AI use cases developed within Central AI, including preparation of decision-ready evidence and clear go/no-go recommendations;

  • Translate data protection and regulatory requirements (e.g. GDPR, EU AI Act, GLS Group Data Protection Framework, internal policies) into clear actionable technical guidance for AI engineers and platform teams;

  • Ensure that data protection requirements are embedded into system design and implementation, enabling AI teams to build compliant solutions by design;

  • Establish and maintain comprehensive, structured, and up-to-date documentation (e.g. data flows, RoPAs, design decisions, controls, and safeguards) that allows for efficient review and oversight by Data Protection functions;

  • Carry out privacy risk assessments (e.g. DPIA and AI risk analysis) for AI use cases, identifying risks related to personal data processing, model behavior, and system architecture;

  • Define and drive the implementation of pragmatic mitigation measures, working hands-on with engineering teams to ensure risks are effectively addressed;

  • Act as a bridge between engineering and data protection functions, ensuring that technical implementations are transparent, reviewable, and aligned with compliance expectations;

  • Enable scalable governance by ensuring that technical implementations and documentation provide clear, auditable evidence of compliance and accountability;

  • Embed data protection by design and by default across AI use cases, agents and platform integrations, with strong attention to lawful basis, purpose limitation, data minimization, retention and transparency;

  • Coordinate handling of data subject rights requests involving AI systems and ensure readiness for AI-related personal data incidents in collaboration with AI Security and central DP teams.

  • Regarding Positioning and scope clarity this position acts as the first line data protection role within AI delivery (embedded in build and deployment, not a separate review function).

 

💡 WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

  • Degree in Computer Science, Engineering or similar technical field (or equivalent experience) with additional legal qualification (eg. LL.B., LL.M., CIP/E) in an EU jurisdiction or fully qualified lawyer in an EU jurisdiction with additional technology experience (eg. CIP/T);

  • 3+ years of experience, ideally in an international corporation;

  • Strong working knowledge of the GDPR;

  • Solid technical grounding in how modern AI systems work - LLMs, RAG, vector stores, agents, tool use;

  • Experience with DPIAs, international data transfers and data subject rights at scale;

  • Strong stakeholder management and ability to challenge solution design

  • Pragmatic, outcome-driven, comfortable operating under ambiguity;

  • Fluent English; additional European language is a plus.
