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 Automated Safety and Compliance (ASC) team empowers Google developers to make Google products safer, more reliable and regulatory compliant.

As Tthe Senior Tech Lead you will have primary responsibility for C++ safety efforts including dynamic analysis, static analysis, fuzzing, and related areas. These efforts operate within a larger memory-safety context, including Rust and Carbon. Our customers often need solutions that cut across these domains. For example, product areas often have needs that require both static and dynamic tooling, fuzzing, as well as C++ to Rust or Kotlin migration. You will integrate across these domains (applying AI where appropriate) to provide cohesive solutions to our customers, and will drive a holistic roadmap for C++ ecosystem safety in close collaboration with our Uber Tech Leads (UTLs).

The US base salary range for this full-time position is $248,000-$349,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.

Lead our C++ safety efforts including dynamic analysis, static analysis, fuzzing, and related areas.

Google

Google LLC started as a PhD project by Larry Page and Sergey Brin in 1998 at Stanford University. Google LLC has blossomed into a behemoth of the tech world. With its mission to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful, Google’s search engine is its crown jewel. Online advertising, via AdWords and AdSense, forms the backbone of its financial success. Beyond search, Google has ventured into cloud computing, hardware, and software development. The innovative PageRank algorithm revolutionized search engine technology, and surviving the dot-com bubble burst and going public in 2004 spurred its meteoric growth. Acquiring YouTube stands as a testament to Google’s strategic expansion.
