Job description

from Google careers

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.

We are looking for a creative and driven Software Engineer to help us build the next generation of Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) solutions. Our team's mission is to leverage the power of AI and platform engineering to automate and scale critical functions like continuous controls monitoring (CCM), audit readiness, and risk management for Google's cloud and infrastructure. You will have the opportunity to work with advanced AI technologies, large-scale data systems, and collaborate with experts across security, compliance, and product teams to deliver transformational solutions.
