Software Developer Manager II, reCAPTCHA Detection

About the job

Like Google's own ambitions, the work of a Software Developer goes way beyond just Search. Software Development Managers have not only the technical expertise to take on and provide technical leadership to major projects, but also manage a team of software developers. You not only optimize your own code but make sure software developers are able to optimize theirs. As a Software Development Manager you manage your project goals, contribute to product strategy and help develop your team. Software Development teams work all across the company, in areas such as information retrieval, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, distributed computing, large-scale system design, networking, security, data compression, user interface design; the list goes on and is growing every day. Operating with scale and speed, our exceptional software developers are just getting started -- and as a manager, you guide the way.

This team dives deep into the payment vertical, detecting attacks such as carding, chargeback fraud, and gift card fraud on sites that use reCAPTCHA to protect their payment actions. Attackers can obtain outsized value in financial fraud compared to more traditional competencies of the reCAPTCHA engine, so building new signals, models, and verdicts in this new area will greatly expand the addressable market of our product. The team is responsible for collecting signals using JavaScript to detect quality of core reCAPTCHA and payment vertical products.
