Google's software engineers develop the next-generation technologies that change how billions of users connect, explore, and interact with information and one another. Our products need to handle information at massive scale, and extend well beyond web search. We're looking for engineers who bring fresh ideas from all areas, including information retrieval, distributed computing, large-scale system design, networking and data storage, security, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, UI design and mobile; the list goes on and is growing every day. As a software engineer, you will work on a specific project critical to Google’s needs with opportunities to switch teams and projects as you and our fast-paced business grow and evolve. We need our engineers to be versatile, display leadership qualities and be enthusiastic to take on new problems across the full-stack as we continue to push technology forward.
User Protections, part of Core’s Privacy, Security, and Safety (PSS) organization, keeps users safe at scale. Within this group, the Egregious Harms Protections team prevents Google’s flagship products from being used for the most severe real-world harms, including child exploitation, non-consensual imagery, and violent extremism. We build and deploy cutting-edge, end-to-end abuse intervention technologies that protect users both on and off-platform.
In this cross-functional role, you will partner closely with Product, Legal, Policy, and Trust & Safety teams to drive daily, real-world impact. As a team member, you will design and implement advanced abuse-fighting technologies, directly helping to create a safer world by preventing severe harm across Google’s ecosystem.
The Core team builds the technical foundation behind Google’s flagship products. We are owners and advocates for the underlying design elements, developer platforms, product components, and infrastructure at Google. These are the essential building blocks for excellent, safe, and coherent experiences for our users and drive the pace of innovation for every developer. We look across Google’s products to build central solutions, break down technical barriers and strengthen existing systems. As the Core team, we have a mandate and a unique opportunity to impact important technical decisions across the company.
