Job description

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. The Keystore Platforms team is responsible for the security and reliability of Keystore’s server platforms, which serve as a critical pillar of user data protection. As owners of the core server infrastructure, we safeguard the cryptographic keys backing Google’s largest services, including Spanner, Bigtable, and Colossus. We operate in a high-stakes, high-security domain at massive scale. You will manage complex challenges at the intersection of security and distributed systems, working to harden our server platforms, minimize key exposure in memory, and build next-generation cryptographic access controls. You’ll have a high-impact engineering role focused on improving production resilience, operational efficiency, and developer velocity. Partnering closely with SRE, you'll drive engineering excellence and help build a secure cryptographic foundation for all of Google. Google Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to digitally transform its business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google’s cutting-edge technology, and tools that help developers build more sustainably. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical business problems.
