Job Description
info_outline XGoogle will be prioritizing applicants who have a current right to work in Singapore, and do not require Google's sponsorship of a visa. Minimum qualifications: Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience. 2 years of experience with software development in one or more programming languages (Go, Python, C/C++, Java, Rust), or 1 year of experience with an advanced degree. Preferred qualifications: Experience with open source software development. Experience with AI assisted development and output review. Experience in applying and improving processes to support software compliance/development and extension. Knowledge or experience working with two or more from the following: open source technologies, security software development, vulnerability assessment, internet infrastructure, distributed and parallel systems, networking, or developing large software systems.
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. Open source is now widely used not only in Google, but throughout the infrastructure of the modern world. Although open systems are easier to inspect, in practice the complexity is very high and many key components lack the “eyes” needed to make them trustworthy. As a Software Engineer in the Google Open Source Security Team (GOSST) team in Singapore, you will help expand our capabilities in generating insights about the open source supply chain, as well as activate them throughout Google's overall software factory. Much of this work is made available for free to Open Source Security (OSS) maintainers through OSS projects, APIs and sites, as well as being integrated into various internal and external developer tooling. 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 Build tools to help understand and improve the security posture of the open source software. Build tools to help build and release open source software securely.
