Company Name: Booking

One of Booking’s core values is “do the right thing”; which means doing the right thing for our Customers, Partners and employees, as well as following local laws and regulations wherever we operate. Privacy is key to that – required by law, and expected by our core constituencies: users, partners and employees.

What

We have established the Privacy Engineering Group, within Horizontal Business Services. The Privacy Engineering Group is responsible for:

• Building horizontal customer Privacy infrastructure to strengthen Booking.com customer trust in the brand.
• Collaborating with R&C, Legal, and many other R&D teams within Booking.com to provide the right infrastructure, and best practices for following the ‘Privacy by Design’ principles consistently across Booking.com Engineering and Product teams.
• Implementing controls to ensure basic privacy measures are enforced across our products and services
• Providing expertise and knowledge to support the business and engineering teams with decision making, and supporting the Legal and Privacy office with legal requests.

• Rapidly developing next-generation scalable, flexible, and high-performance systems.
