About the job
Security is a paramount focus for Google's Tensor SoC and Pixel, especially with advancements like Gemini and Gen AI. As a Software Engineer on our team, you will develop innovative systems security solutions at the hardware-software interface, protecting users and their data across Google's flagship devices and services. By applying your software skills to write robust code, you will manage complex security challenges, address emerging threats, and implement next-generation security features.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
Design, develop, test, and maintain high-quality, robust low-level secure software (e.g., C/C /Rust), including debugging issues and ensuring code meets Google's engineering standards for security features and system components.
Perform code-level security analysis, implement and verify defenses against emerging threats, and apply best practices to mitigate vulnerabilities in software components. Collaborate cross-functionally with Hardware, Software, Product, and Architecture teams to integrate and effectively land system security solutions within Google's ecosystem.
Develop creative and efficient software solutions that meet defined security properties and contribute to system-level security and performance Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
Contribute to the refinement of security architecture by participating in design discussions from an implementer's perspective, and produce clear technical documentation for software designs and implementations.
