About The Position

About DeleteMe:
DeleteMe is the leader in proactive privacy protection. We help security teams reduce their human attack surface by continuously monitoring and removing exposed personal data (PII) from the open web — the very data threat actors use to launch social engineering, phishing, Gen-AI deepfake, doxxing campaigns, physical threats, and identity fraud.
As a fast-growing, global SaaS company, DeleteMe serves both consumers and enterprises, completing over 100 million opt-out removals to reduce real-world privacy and security risks associated with identity theft, spam, doxxing, and other cybersecurity threats. We deliver detailed privacy reports, continuous monitoring, and expert support to ensure ongoing protection.
DeleteMe acts as a scalable, managed defense layer for your most vulnerable attack vector: your people. Today, 30% of the Fortune 100, along with leading tech companies, financial institutions, and government agencies, rely on DeleteMe to protect their workforce.
We are driven by a mission to restore fairness, privacy, and control to personal data in the digital world, and we are building a team that cares deeply about that impact.
