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.

GCP's Identity and Access Management (IAM) team, Capsium, is building the critical access control foundation to secure enterprise AI adoption because self-supporting AI agents shift the security focus from "Who has access?" to "What can this agent do?", they introduce complex new tests: obscured risk perimeters, the rapid proliferation of high-velocity non-human identities, and dynamic actions that outpace traditional static policies. To address these threats, we are developing the core AUTHZ platform that empowers Google Cloud Platform (GCP) customers to confidently connect Large Language Models (LLMs) and deploy complex, multi-agent ecosystems without compromising their security posture.

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

US: $207000 - $301000 (USD) 20% bonus target equity benefits
