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.

The Google Advertising Platform powers multiple products, front ends, and teams.
It guarantees the security and integrity of advertiser data at all times. Its
query layer has the flexibility to handle around 10 million different variants
of queries and leverages the power of storage systems that operate at petascale
in order to manage massive amounts of advertiser data. It does all of this while
conforming to strict latency guidelines that ensure a consistent, fast
experience for advertisers.

The Ads Platform Engineering Productivity team is focused on accelerating
developer velocity and hardening product quality. We do this by partnering
closely with Ads Platform infrastructure and feature teams to build tooling,
automation, scalable validation and release infrastructure, and driving quality
insights and best practices into the development process.

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
