Research Engineer, Privacy and Anonymization
About HUD
HUD is building infrastructure to create RL training data and evals for frontier AI agents, as well as a marketplace to sell these to frontier labs through the HUD marketplace. Our platform is used by frontier labs, Fortune 500 companies, and startups. We’ve raised $16M from top VCs and were YC W25.
About the role
We’re looking for a Research Engineer to build the privacy and anonymization systems that make sensitive, real-world data safe and useful for AI training. You’ll develop methods to detect and remove PII, secrets, and other sensitive information from raw data before it enters our processing and synthetic data pipelines. You’ll own the full pipeline for protecting privacy without destroying the structure and signal that make data valuable for training agents.
Responsibilities
Build systems to detect PII, quasi-identifiers, credentials, and other sensitive information and design transformations based on the data type and downstream use case
Develop and benchmark detection approaches that combine rules, statistical models, classifiers, and LLM-based methods
Build production pipelines that anonymize raw d
