About The Position

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. Ask Advisor leverages agentic AI to deliver a pathbreaking, multimodal support experience for advertisers navigating complex journeys across multiple Google and external websites. By translating the promise of Agentic AI and UI control into a real, advertiser-usable offering, Ask Advisor fundamentally rethinks advertiser engagement, enabling the AI to diagnose issues, plan resolutions, act autonomously on behalf of advertisers, and escalate seamlessly to human representatives across Marketing, Sales, and Support. Featured prominently during keynote presentations at Google Marketing Live (GML) 2025 and GML 2026, Ask Advisor is a high-visibility, high impact project that unlocks a new paradigm for marketing/sales/support experiences of the future. We work in close collaboration with Google DeepMind (GDM) and Global Business Organization (GBO). Google Ads is helping power the open internet with the best technology that connects and creates value for people, publishers, advertisers, and Google. We’re made up of multiple teams, building Google’s Advertising products including search, display, shopping, travel and video advertising, as well as analytics. Our teams create trusted experiences between people and businesses with useful ads. We help grow businesses of all sizes from small businesses, to large brands, to YouTube creators, with effective advertiser tools that deliver measurable results. We also enable Google to engage with customers at scale.
