Description

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS: * Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience. * 2 years of experience with software development in Machine Learning, C++, Data Analysis, SQL, Python, or 1 year of experience with an advanced degree. * 1 year of experience building and deploying recommendation systems models (retrieval, prediction, ranking, personalization, search quality, embedding) in production. * 1 year of experience with ML infrastructure (e.g., model deployment, model evaluation, optimization, data processing, debugging). PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS: * Master's degree or PhD in Computer Science or related technical fields. * 2 years of experience with data structures or algorithms. * 1 year experience with recommender Systems, Clustering Algorithms, and Deep Model. * Experience developing accessible technologies. 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. 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. As an ML engineer, you will develop and improve personalized user models to optimize for user happiness. You will directly translate into our top line user engagement and quality goals (DAU, Visits, Impressions, Use Satisfaction Score, etc.). You will include our Neural Deep Retrieval models, Deep Neural Network Ranking/Scoring models, User/Content Clustering models, LLM-based Retrieval Augmented Generation models, and more. You will also integrate these models with the Discover and Search serving stacks for use cases spanning content recommendation, content ranking, content generation, diversification, and more.In Google Search, we're reimagining what it means to search for information – any way and anywhere. To do that, we need to solve complex engineering challenges and expand our infrastructure, while maintaining a universally accessible and useful experience that people around the world rely on. In joining the Search team, you'll have an opportunity to make an impact on billions of people globally. The US base salary range for this full-time position is $141,000-$202,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring process. Please note that the compensation details listed in US role postings reflect the base salary only, and do not include bonus, equity, or benefits.
