Who we are

At DataMasque, we’re on a mission to protect the world’s most sensitive data. Our platform enables enterprises to mask, anonymise, and secure billions of records across healthcare, financial services, and other highly regulated industries.

We’re tackling one of the hardest problems in data security: ensuring organisations can use and share data safely while meeting stringent compliance requirements. From financial giants to healthcare providers, customers trust DataMasque to keep their data private, secure, and compliant.

This is your chance to work on software that directly impacts data privacy at global scale - and solve novel technical challenges along the way.

The difference you’ll make

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our core engineering team. This is a hands-on role building our enterprise data masking and privacy protection platform, where you’ll work on high-performance Python applications that transform sensitive data across a wide range of enterprise database systems.

You’ll face unique challenges in data privacy, security, and performance optimisation - and your work will have a direct impact on the safety of data for enterprises worldwide.

What you’ll do

  • Develop and maintain our Python-based data masking engine for discovery and transformation
  • Build deep database integrations across Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Snowflake, and DynamoDB
  • Optimise performance at enterprise scale, handling billions of records
  • Work with distributed systems using Celery and Redis
  • Collaborate with the team on Rust-based performance components
  • Write robust, type-safe, and well-tested code with MyPy, Ruff, and pytest

What we’re looking for

  • 5+ years Python and/or Rust development experience with large-scale applications
  • Strong database expertise (such as Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc.)
  • Security-focused development mindset
  • Advanced database skills: query and connectivity optimisation, performance tuning
  • Passion for code correctness: MyPy, type hints, and strong testing practices
  • Experience with Docker and cloud platforms (AWS/Azure)

Nice to haves

  • Experience with Rust and/or Python development
  • Database administration background
  • Prior work in regulated industries (finance, healthcare, etc.)
  • Knowledge of data security or privacy frameworks such as HIPAA and GDPR
