About Transcend


Transcend is the privacy platform that makes it easy to encode privacy across your tech stack.


We believe that engineering privacy rights and making them easily accessible to the world is one of the most high-impact ways we can spend our time. That's why we're building an ambitious team that’s passionate about solving the important problems of the future and having fun while doing it. We’re backed by Accel and Index, growing fast, and are serving some of the most iconic brands in the world.


(Even if you don't see a good fit below, we'd still love to stay in touch. Email us at recruiting@transcend.io).


About the role


As a Frontend Software Engineer at Transcend, you will help us build and maintain the core Transcend application, as well as contribute to new products and initiatives, such as:


  • Data Privacy Infrastructure: This is our bread-and-butter. We help companies process data requests from their customers by directly integrating with 3rd party systems through a proxy application called Sombra, which encrypts the data end-to-end. You’ll work closely with this application and build features on top of it.
  • Data Mapping: A tool for discovering where our customers store their customer’s PII (personally identifiable information). We help our customers answer questions like: who are all the vendors that process sensitive information? What data is stored in our data warehouses? Can we be notified when sensitive data shows up in a new system?
  • Assessments: A tool to allow companies to systematically identify, analyze, and minimize the data protection risks of a specific vendor, data system, project, or plan.

What you'll do

  • Collaborate and contribute to projects like self-serve signup and billing, Consent Management, and Data Mapping. The main challenge you'll be tackling here is: "How do I build an intuitive interface for non-technical users to interact with these highly technical products?"
  • Work on building up our core UI components library and standardize usage across the code base
  • Implement customer-requested features and integrations
  • Proactively fix production and development issues

Who you are


  • You have around 1 or more years of experience in software development.
  • You have a good track record of shipping beautiful, intuitive, and accessible UI features using React. Knowing Typescript is a big plus!
  • You know how to ship production-ready code. You should know what tests to write, what to log, what metrics to capture, what alerts to set up.
  • You're effective at tackling large, somewhat open-ended problems. We're a small team, and not every problem will have a fully spec-ed out solution for you to implement. Spec-gathering, writing design docs, validating potential solutions with teammates, and decomposing work are all part of the job.
  • You’re able to identify trade-offs and take them into consideration when making decisions (e.g, speediness vs tech debt vs cutting scope). You can articulate which factors have higher priority depending on the context.
  • You are effective at async and online methods of communication. Our team is mostly distributed (some co-locate in SF), so the ability to clearly and thoughtfully communicate despite the space and time barriers is very important.

Bonus Points


  • Familiarity with our tech stack/libraries: GraphQL, Apollo.

Why join us?

The people at Transcend are driven, kind and know how to balance work, life and memes. We learn from each other and have a strong support system. 


You’re joining a fast growing start up, with opportunities to help define and grow the organization.


We have a strong mission to protect user privacy rights everywhere. The privacy compliance landscape is growing, and we are at the forefront of building solutions that protect user privacy rights with modern infrastructure and automation.


You will have autonomy and trust to drive initiatives from the start.


We believe that turning the principles of data privacy into exercisable human rights is one of the most high-impact ways we can spend our time, and so we're building an ambitious team that’s passionate about solving important problems and having fun while doing it.


As the best-in-class solution in a new market, Transcend is a fast-paced and exciting workplace. The product evolves quickly to meet new client needs and adapts to the rapidly advancing world of privacy law. As one of Transcend’s earliest hires, you’ll get to work on a wide array of exciting projects.
