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.

Information Security Engineering (ISE) Crypto is Google’s applied cryptography team. The team’s mission is to help everyone at Alphabet, and on the Internet, use cryptography correctly. We are a dynamic team with work that spans cryptographic library development, cryptographic consultation and review, high-assurance cryptography, and post-quantum cryptography. Google’s flagship cryptographic libraries, Tink and BoringSSL, are used widely across Google products and services, and are also available as open source libraries.

The Core team builds the technical foundation behind Google’s flagship products. We are owners and advocates for the underlying design elements, developer platforms, product components, and infrastructure at Google. These are the essential building blocks for excellent, safe, and coherent experiences for our users and drive the pace of innovation for every developer. We look across Google’s products to build central solutions, break down technical barriers and strengthen existing systems. As the Core team, we have a mandate and a unique opportunity to impact important technical decisions across the company.

Responsibilities

• Write product or system development code.
• Participate in, or lead design reviews with peers and stakeholders to decide amongst available technologies, working closely with the BoringSSL Team Lead, and other parts of Google, to meet user needs and partner teams that have a critical dependency on BoringSSL.
• Review code developed by other developers and provide feedback to ensure best practices (e.g., style guidelines, checking code in, accuracy, testability, and efficiency).
• Engage in cryptographic library development, specifically, working very closely with the BoringSSL team to add new features to the library, and engage in library maintenance.
• Grow experience in cryptography consultation and review, as you work with teams across Google on their cryptography library needs.
