Software Engineer, Digital Identity, Google Wallet

About

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 handle information at massive scale and extend beyond web search. We seek engineers from diverse areas, including information retrieval, distributed computing, large-scale system design, networking and data storage, security, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, UI design, and mobile, who are eager to contribute fresh ideas. As a software engineer, you will work on a specific project critical to Google's needs with opportunities to switch teams and projects as our fast-paced business grows and evolves. We value versatility, leadership, and enthusiasm to tackle new problems across the full stack as we push technology forward.

As part of this team, your mission is to provide users with a digital version of their real-world identity that can be used offline and online as a replacement for physical identity cards. You will use ISO and OpenID standards to allow governments to provision identity credentials to Google Wallet, and then present these credentials to interested parties. The Payments team at Google focuses on making payments simple, seamless, and secure, powering consumer payment technologies as well as money movement between Google and its consumers and businesses.
