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.
Due to the scale and reach of Google Ads, abuse can cause significant user harm and substantial business losses, as well as damaging Google's reputation. Abuse fighting is inherently complex due to its adversarial nature that requires continuous adaptation to evolving and increasingly sophisticated tactics, and the overarching constraint to protect legitimate actors.

This role offers a unique opportunity to develop solutions to protect Google Ads from ever changing attacks and has significant room for growth. The work is highly visible and the potential impact both on Google Ads business and users is substantial. There are ample opportunities with cross-functional teams like Ads Quality, Advertiser Platform, Trust and Safety, GBO, and Research, and cross-product teams like YouTube, AdSpam, and Play.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
