Job description
from Google careersGoogle Cloud’s mission is to make every business successful through AI by combining cutting-edge technology, infrastructure, and talent. AI/ML software engineers in Cloud bridge the gap between pioneering models and a massive product vehicle reaching billions. Our talent density and AI-powered tools drive rapid development, rooted in a culture of empowerment and a bias to action. In this role, you aren’t just building technology; you’re shaping the frontier of enterprise and driving the evolution of advanced models.
Workspace Abuse Safety Protection works on identifying bad actors on Workspace platform, and blocking the abuse by various enforcement strategies.
With recent advent of agentic platform on Workspace (Workspace Intelligence), we recently began building out counter abuse systems for agents - whether bad actors use agentic workflow to automate abusive behaviors, OR non-abusive users inadvertently allow abusive behaviors by their agents.
