About the job

As part of the broader Trust and Safety organization, we leverage our technical expertise and deep understanding of deceptive behaviors and practices on the web to protect users from harm and build their trust in Search. We address emerging and evolving threats like webspam, scams, and cross-surface manipulation that directly target users. We achieve this by deploying scaled solutions and operational automations alongside our partners, protecting the integrity and quality of Search against evolving abuse tactics.

As an Engineering Analyst in the Trust and Safety Search, you will work to discover, measure and mitigate user trust risks in Search through automated and scalable solutions. This would include working on Search results and various Search features with a focus on deceptive behaviors (e.g., webspam, scams, etc.). You will build relationships and work closely with Search engineers, Product Managers, and UX specialists to protect Google Search users from spam and harmful content. You will apply your analytical and technical skills to identify and prevent manipulative and deceptive behaviors, contribute to the development and enforcement of spam guidelines, and partner with engineering teams to enhance search ranking algorithms. Our aim is to resolve problems at scale by working with engineers on automated product protections, Large Language Model solutions, and/or through vendor support. This role will be exposed to graphic, controversial, and/or upsetting content.
