While the challenge is great, we see tremendous opportunity to leverage new technologies and approaches to deliver industry-leading protections to our advertisers and users, enable our publisher partners to build sustainable businesses, and more generally defend the core of Google’s ads business throughout this transformational period.

You will work to protect advertisers, publishers, and users of Google’s ads business generation products from ad fraud and abuse.Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
