Google's software engineers develop the next-generation technologies that change
how billions of users connect, explore, and interact with information and one

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

In this role, you'll gain exposure to projects that shape the backbone of our

building next generation AI infrastructure for Search developers, revisiting the

With your technical expertise you will manage project priorities, deadlines, and
deliverables. You will design, develop, test, deploy, maintain, and enhance
software solutions.

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
