Google to hire 200 engineers in Brazil
Alphabet Inc’s Google is planning to hire 200 engineers in Brazil this year to bolster its privacy, security, and anti-abusive content technologies.
This move is expected to double the company’s engineers in the Latin American country. They would also be leveraged to help create new products for the global market.
The job offers will be focused on the states of Minas Gerais and São Paulo, the country’s tech hubs, with plans of offering remote working options.
Google Latin America Director of Engineering Berthier Ribeiro-Neto said that the recruits will be part of a global expansion plan that prioritizes the firm’s main markets outside the United States.
He stated that “with such a relevant market, we believe it is important to have more and more Brazilians at the forefront of the development of our technologies.”
Ribeiro-Neto added that Brazil is among the top five countries for the use of products such as Android, Chrome, YouTube, and Maps.
