Job description
from Google careersGoogle's software engineers develop the next-generation technologies that change how billions of users connect, explore, and interact with information and one another. Our products need to handle information at massive scale, and extend well beyond web search. We're looking for engineers who bring fresh ideas from all areas, including information retrieval, distributed computing, large-scale system design, networking and data storage, security, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, UI design and mobile; the list goes on and is growing every day. As a software engineer, you will work on a specific project critical to Google’s needs with opportunities to switch teams and projects as you and our fast-paced business grow and evolve. We need our engineers to be versatile, display leadership qualities and be enthusiastic to take on new problems across the full-stack as we continue to push technology forward.
We operate much like a fast-paced, agile group within Google, working at the cutting edge of contextual AI. This requires an adaptable mindset and comfort navigating the inherent ambiguity and evolution typical of early-stage innovation. This is a collaborative effort across Alphabet, including research partnerships with Google DeepMind, Google Research, Core, and product integrations across core Google experiences.
