ABOUT THE JOB

Google’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.

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.
In this role, you will translate in-depth research into path-breaking tools, frameworks and techniques, sharing the results widely. Your work focuses on creating a future where technology supports everyone’s feeling and ability to meaningfully shape their world. You will track emerging technologies and their adoption, translating insights into innovative applications to inspire new approaches.
