Let's say that, hypothetically, I lead a project for a very big customer that ended up being used to commit a (arguably) crime against humanity.

Should I put this on resume and would it be in poor taste to quantify the results?

I'm not sure why you'd be willing to work on such a project but then be concerned about putting it on a CV. Assuming something I don't understand, you could talk about the impact it had on your employer without going into details of what it allowed them to do.

He just said:

>> that ended up being used to commit a (arguably) crime against humanity.

What about that makes you think that he knew what it would be used for?

"I'm the civil engineer who designed a large and complicated factory for the mass baking of ceramic products."

...

"I did not know the next government would start a world war and use them to gas Jews."

You seem to assume that everyone has perfect foresight. I assure you, even you don't have perfect foresight.

I’m not comparing this to a crime against humanity or making value judgments either way.

But if someone told me that they were a senior SRE at MindGeek, I’m inclined to hire them.
