Software Developer, Full Stack, reCAPTCHA Product Experience – Google – Montreal, QC

Google’s Cloud division is looking for a Software Developer, Full Stack to join the reCAPTCHA Product Experience team in Montreal, Quebec. This mid-level role sits at the intersection of security technology and user-facing product development, where your work will have a direct impact on protecting more than 14 million domains across the web. If you’re a full-stack developer who enjoys building systems that matter at a global scale, this is the kind of role worth paying attention to.

Day to day, you’ll be designing and delivering features for cloud-based security consoles, building high-throughput data pipelines, and maintaining core backend services — all while partnering closely with cross-functional teams working on advanced bot detection and anti-abuse systems. The breadth of the work spans front-end UX to deep backend infrastructure, giving you meaningful exposure across the full technology stack.

About the Role: Software Developer, Full Stack, reCAPTCHA

As part of Google Cloud, this team is responsible for turning sophisticated threat detection systems into intuitive, enterprise-grade security products.

You’ll be contributing to infrastructure used by enterprise customers in more than 200 countries and territories, with a direct role in enabling a safer, more trustworthy web for agentic AI systems.

Collaboration is central to this position. You’ll partner with Site Reliability Engineers (SRE) during weekly product rollout cycles and participate in on-call rotations to address customer escalations. Writing clean, highly testable code, leading team-wide bug hunts, and refactoring serving layers are all part of how this team operates — maintaining reliability while continuously shipping new capabilities.

Responsibilities

This role spans the full lifecycle of consumer-facing security features — from front-end console design to backend data infrastructure. You’ll be working on systems that serve millions of domains globally, so both code quality and system reliability are held to a high standard. Here’s what you’ll be doing on a regular basis:

• Design and implement high-fidelity user journeys, interactive UX flows, and configuration interfaces within the Cloud Console (Fraud Defense and Trust API)
• Build and optimize batch and streaming data pipelines (including Napa and Sawmill log architectures) to process and surface security metrics to customer dashboards
• Extend and maintain core serving services using C++ and Kotlin, with a focus on system reliability and correctness
• Partner with SRE on weekly product rollout cycles, define monitoring metrics, and participate in on-call rotations to triage customer escalations
• Write clean, maintainable code; scale hermetic testing suites; and lead team-wide bughunts to improve code quality across the stack
• Refactor serving layers to support evolving billing and allowlist features as the product grows

Requirements / Skills

You should be comfortable taking ownership of features end-to-end and working across organizational boundaries with detection and product teams. Here are the key qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field or equivalent practical experience
• 2+ years of full-stack development experience, including backend (Java, Python, Golang, or C++) and front-end (JavaScript or TypeScript, HTML, CSS)
