Company Operating Rhythm

At Deepgram, we expect an AI-first mindset—AI use and comfort aren’t optional, they’re core to how we operate, innovate, and measure performance.

Every team member who works at Deepgram is expected to actively use and experiment with advanced AI tools, and even build your own into your everyday work. We measure how effectively AI is applied to deliver results, and consistent, creative use of the latest AI capabilities is key to success here. Candidates should be comfortable adopting new models and modes quickly, integrating AI into their workflows, and continuously pushing the boundaries of what these technologies can do.

Additionally, we move at the pace of AI. Change is rapid, and you can expect your day-to-day work to evolve just as quickly. This may not be the right role if you’re not excited to experiment, adapt, think on your feet, and learn constantly, or if you’re seeking something highly prescriptive with a traditional 9-to-5.

The Opportunity

Deepgram is looking for a Privacy Operations Lead to own the operational backbone of our privacy program. Deepgram processes audio — often some of the most sensitive data our customers hold — across several deployment models: hosted with model-improvement opted in, hosted with model-improvement opted out (effectively zero data retention), single-tenant Deepgram Dedicated deployments with regional data residency, and fully self-hosted deployments running in the customer's own environment. Our hosted services run primarily on our own bare-metal infrastructure in colocation datacenters, with AWS used for overflow capacity and a small set of services — so knowing where data actually lives means knowing our datacenters, not just a cloud console.

You will be the person who knows, in operational detail, how data moves through each of those models — and who turns that knowledge into durable artifacts: data flow maps, records of processing, assessment templates, playbooks, and self-service guidance that Legal, Engineering, and Sales Engineering can use without re-deriving the answer every time. You will also be the technical voice in enterprise customer privacy reviews.
