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.
As part of the Google Open Source Security Team (GOSST), you will help secure the upstream Linux kernel and improve the LLVM toolchain.
Google uses the Linux kernel in nearly every aspect of its business: production and cloud infrastructure, Android, Chrome OS, corporate laptops. Improving the security stance of the upstream kernel has traditionally proven to be a very difficult social (and technical) problem. With relatively large lead-times between upstream development and Google's use of Linux, it's important to both make sure security defenses are being developed upstream so they become available to Google and to avoid the forward-porting work for internally developed defenses.
Our team works internally across Google and externally across the Linux ecosystem.
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.
- Identify and eliminate classes of security vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel.
- Work with external partners and the open source community to adopt and integrate new security flaw mitigation technologies.
- Work with internal Linux kernel and LLVM compiler teams to improve Google's security posture.
Build for everyone Since our founding in 1998, Google has grown by leaps and bounds. Starting from two computer science students in a university... Read more
