As a Distinguished Engineer, you will serve as the senior-most technical authority and Individual Contributor (IC) defining and executing the long-term technical strategy for App and Ecosystem Trust (AET) globally. In this role, your technical leadership and architectural influence will extend across Product Areas (PAs), partnering across Platforms & Devices (P&D) and Android Platform, and with Google Play, DeepMind (GDM), Core Security, and Google-wide AI Safety councils.
This role requires a rare combination of visionary strategic architecture and technical depth. You will establish a 3–5+ year technical trajectory, leading Google’s transition to Autonomous Defense, transforming safety systems from reactive classification into self-healing, adaptive security architectures capable of neutralizing polymorphic malware, content abuse, and fraud at ecosystem scale.
Furthermore, as software architectures evolve toward agentic workflows, you will pioneer and define the architecture for "Agentic Safety" at Google. You will design foundational security guardrails, policy enforcement engines, sandboxed runtime environments, and protocol security for autonomous AI agents, tool-use protocols, and connected app ecosystems.
Reporting directly to the VP/GM of App and Ecosystem Trust, you will partner with engineering and product executives across Google to establish technical consensus, solve high-stakes platform safety challenges, and represent Google’s technical leadership across the global tech industry.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
US: $550,000 (USD) + 80% bonus target + equity + benefits
