Steven Scott is a Staff Privacy Developer at Shopify with a decade of hands-on experience building privacy and security capabilities across large-scale SaaS infrastructure. With roots in computer science and mathematics, he transitioned from incident response and vulnerability analysis at Research In Motion/BlackBerry to DevOps-focused security and privacy leadership at Shopify. He designs practical, auditable controls and automation—bringing together security operations, code review, and deployment tooling to reduce risk in production systems. Based in Squamish, BC, Steven blends deep technical expertise with clear process development, having authored core operational procedures early in his career. Colleagues rely on him to translate complex threat models into pragmatic engineering solutions that scale. He’s as comfortable scripting Java tooling and running penetration tests as he is guiding cross-functional teams through privacy engineering trade-offs.
