Help the team strategically identify game-changing problem spaces, dynamic pursuing and contributing proposals for opportunities that maximize our overall impact. Contribute to a collaborative, ambitious culture that confidently tackles the impossible and constantly questions the strict technical boundaries. Guide junior engineers and lead focused strike teams by setting clear technical direction, providing vital support to ensure both their rapid professional growth and overall outcome success.

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.

This is an opportunity to participate in a fast-moving, high-impact AI-native team, and play a part in defining how Google leverages AI to deliver qualitatively different engineering outcomes compared to pre-AI ways of working.

The Core team builds the technical foundation behind Google’s flagship products. We are owners and advocates for the underlying design elements, developer platforms, product components, and infrastructure at Google. These are the essential building blocks for excellent, safe, and coherent experiences for our users and drive the pace of innovation for every developer. We look across Google’s products to build central solutions, break down technical barriers and strengthen existing systems. As the Core team, we have a mandate and a unique opportunity to impact important technical decisions across the company.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
