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 Notifications Quality team is responsible for generating personalized notifications sent to YouTube users in various states on multiple surfaces (e.g., mobile, inbox, etc.). We maintain pipelines and serving systems that initiate notification requests and generate recommendations. We develop sophisticated ML models and algorithms to effectively personalize notifications, which are critical to the YouTube ecosystem and user satisfaction. The team aims to identify request times that optimize send opportunities for timely engagement while minimizing negative user and system cost. This involves identifying when the system should attempt to send and what content to send among eligible candidates. There are several ways to initiate algorithmic notifications today, both personalized-time {server scheduling, mobile client} and event-time (e.g., upload) fanout.
