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.

Privacy Sandbox (Android Only) On-Device Personalization explores an innovative way to continue enabling personalization of end-user experiences while providing enhanced protection of end-user privacy. It's built on the simple idea that instead of moving end-user data into centralized servers, the personalization logic is pushed to the edge (i.e. on end user's devices).

Privacy Sandbox offers a suite of primitive building blocks its adopters can use to create their personalization logic at the edge. One such important block is Federated Compute.

The Privacy Sandbox initiative aims to create technologies that both protect people's privacy online and give companies and developers tools to build thriving digital businesses. Our team is dedicated to strengthening the Web and Android platform against tracking and fingerprinting, while also developing new privacy-preserving APIs to support personalization and measurement on the web. We are committed to collaborating with stakeholders in the industry to develop and implement viable, alternative solutions in a way that protects the privacy of users while also ensuring the continued vitality of the web.

Responsibilities:

• Design and develop novel training algorithms such as Differentially Private Alternating Minimization (DPAM).
• Validate and benchmark privacy and utility of the novel training algorithms with internal and external datasets.
• Design and develop Confidential Computing based training infrastructure in public cloud infrastructure (e.g. Google Cloud Platform).
• Design and develop other ODP features, such as Federated Learning or Analytics.
• Test and benchmark the whole stack.

Google is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and is an affirmative action employer. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity or Veteran status. We also consider qualified applicants regardless of criminal histories, consistent with legal requirements.#J-18808-Ljbffr
