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.

As a Software Engineer, you will leverage the software development expertise to design, build, and implement the agentic tooling and systems. These intelligent agents will automate and scale security processes, analyze risks, detect vulnerabilities, and assist developer teams across Google in embedding security best practices throughout the entire development life cycle. Your work will be crucial in enabling Google to ship secure products more efficiently and effectively at scale.

Responsibilities:

• Drive the development of agents and infrastructure to automate security reviews, vulnerability handling, triage, and conduct variant analysis to reduce manual workloads.
• Promote quality security practices across the organization, influencing software engineers, immediate colleagues, and across Google.
• Partner with offensive security teams to translate the latest "red team" findings into automated detection logic and agent capabilities.
• Work closely with information security engineers to identify and design new tools for product security consulting, response and research, especially related to AI agents.
