About the job

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.

The AI and Data Protection team engineers maintain the high-throughput, high-availability inspection services that power Google's safety capabilities. Our technology is fundamental to Cloud Sensitive Data Protection (Cloud SDP), Gmail/Chrome Enterprise/Google Drive's Data Loss Prevention (DLP) frameworks, AI (LLMs and Agents) inference safeguards with Model Armor, and a wide range of other Google offerings. We also perform storage scanning (GCS, BQ, etc), both thorough examination (reading every byte) and discovery (sampling records to create aggregate profiles).

In this role, you will build the architecture, APIs, algorithms, and neural networks that provide fast, scalable classification and redaction of sensitive information and AI threat surfaces, both at runtime and at rest.

Google Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to digitally transform its business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google’s cutting-edge technology, and tools that help developers build more sustainably. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical business problems.Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
