Job description
from Google careersGoogle'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 Silicon Security Software team builds the foundation of trust for the mobile SoCs using Pixel devices. We are responsible for the end-to-end design and development of critical security components—from Secure Boot ROMs and cryptographic solutions to access control firmware. To achieve this we rely on secure coding practices, leverage technologies (e.g. high-speed IO interfaces), ARM security architecture, post-quantum safe cryptography, and employ memory-safe languages like Rust.
