Niantic's Security Engineering Team seeks a software engineer to build and maintain custom security infrastructure. We are a new and growing part of the Security team, which is responsible for anti-cheat operations, cloud security monitoring, and corporate network protection.
Do you enjoy a variety of software engineering challenges?
Join us as a Senior Software Engineer, and you'll reinforce our security infrastructure through both greenfield and incremental projects. Challenges abound, from securing our games against cheaters, to monitoring our cloud projects for insecure configurations, to exploring where AI is most useful as a security tool. If you are self-motivated, adept at solving complex problems, and focused on information security, we need your skills to protect Niantic's data, our user's data, and to help maintain an equitable gaming environment.
Niantic's global-scale augmented reality platform and digital map powers spatial computing experiences in the real world. Incubated out of the Maps team at Google, Niantic first created Ingress and then Pokémon GO, a cultural phenomenon and hit game played by tens of millions of people each month. Niantic’s Lightship platform, which powers Pokémon GO, also supports the company's other games including Pikmin Bloom, Peridot and Monster Hunter Now. Developers use Niantic’s platform to build their own AR applications and experiences, either with the Lightship Platform or directly through the web with 8th Wall.
We believe that cultivating a workplace where our people are supported and included is essential to creating great products our community will love. Our mission emphasizes seeking and hiring diverse voices, including those who are traditionally underrepresented in the technology industry, and we consider this to be one of the most important values we hold close.
Niantic is a hybrid first company. We believe that in person interaction and collaboration fosters creativity, a sense of community, and is critical to our future success as a company. Our hybrid work schedules allow for a mix of remote and in-office work.
We're a hard-working, fun, and exciting group who value intellectual curiosity and a passion for problem-solving! We have growing offices located in San Francisco, Sunnyvale, Palo Alto, Bellevue, Kansas, London, Tokyo, Hamburg, Hyderabad, and Zürich. #LI-HYBRID
