Minimum qualifications:- Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.
- 8 years of experience with software development, system design, or machine learning infrastructure.
- 8 years of experience working with trust and safety, classification problems, large language model (LLM) safety architectures, fraud or risk detection, identity verification, or adversarial machine learning.
Preferred qualifications:- Familiarity with industrial-scale data pipelines, internal data orchestration engines, and high-performance compute infrastructure.
- Demonstrated ability to lead by influence and drive technical alignment across sprawling, matrixed engineering groups without direct operational authority.
- Exceptional systems-thinking capabilities, with a documented history of transforming fragmented technical processes into highly reusable, automated platform engines.
With your technical expertise you will manage project priorities, deadlines, and deliverables. You will design, develop, test, deploy, maintain, and enhance software solutions.
As a part of the GenAI for Youth, a team within Kids and Families, you will be dedicated to developing the next-generation of scalable, systemically responsible, and high-integrity AI frameworks that power experiences across Google's products. Your mission is to bridge the gap between foundational model research and highly calibrated, age-appropriate production environments.
You will build unified infrastructure that solves complex engineering, user classification, and behavioral modeling challenges once for the entire ecosystem. You will operate across multi-site engineering hubs, establish the technical strategy, algorithmic steering frameworks, and automated validation layers necessary to ensure that Google's AI-driven platform surfaces scale with complete structural accuracy, performance safety, and long-term ecosystem health.The Core team builds the technical foundation behind Google's flagship products. We are owners and advocates for the underlying design elements, developer platforms, product components, and infrastructure at Google. These are the essential building blocks for excellent, safe, and coherent experiences for our users and drive the pace of innovation for every developer. We look across Google's products to build central solutions, break down technical barriers and strengthen existing systems. As the Core team, we have a mandate and a unique opportunity to impact important technical decisions across the company.Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
