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.

In this role, you will be drive innovation through GenAI methods, revolutionizing performance optimization and efficiency across existing fleet infrastructure as well as next-generation platforms. You will apply AI/ML or other investigative techniques to improve performance/efficiency of key applications or the entire fleet. You will be responsible for identifying or prototyping new projects, taking them to production. In other words, you will make the goal of a “self-driving” autonomous fleet a reality.

You will be working with a small team of computer architects, compiler and efficiency experts, runtime system experts, and AI researchers. You will be collaborating with developers up and down the stack, including hardware, kernel, networking, and cluster management teams to implement and deploy your changes.

The AI and Infrastructure team is redefining what’s possible. We empower Google customers with breakthrough capabilities and insights by delivering AI and Infrastructure at unparalleled scale, efficiency, reliability and velocity. Our customers include Googlers, Google Cloud customers, and billions of Google users worldwide.
