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.
As a part of this team, you will be at the forefront of transforming Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) for Google Cloud and Technical Infrastructure (TI). You will build an intelligent, AI-powered platform to automate and scale critical GRC functions. Your mission is to engineer innovative solutions that leverage Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to provide continuous assurance, enforce privacy, streamline audits, enhance reporting, and power real-time Continuous Controls Monitoring (CCM), ultimately safeguarding Google's security and compliance posture.
The US base salary range for this full-time position is $207,000-$300,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location.
