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.

The Account and Device Integrity (ADI) team, part of Core User Protections, prevents bad accounts from causing damage to Google users and products. The ADI Data team owns the end-to-end solutions lifecycle—collecting, processing, and transforming massive, high-velocity data streams into the insights that powers the whole of ADI.

Your mission is to architect and scale the data solutions that drive systematic changes ADI and other abuse-fighting teams at Google. In this role, you will go beyond building for single use cases to develop generalized, high-performance systems that manage the growing complexity of the AI era at Google-scale. You will lead core initiatives to enhance performance, reliability, and scalability, while establishing data standards that ensure our protections remain as resilient as they are scalable.
