Software Engineer, Search, AI/ML Training Infrastructure 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.

Our team mission is to accelerate AI innovation for the discover feed by providing a data and training foundation. Our current technical focus areas include: next‑level training capability, including real‑time training, co‑training ranking and retrieval models. User sequence modeling data quality and efficiency, applying the latest research to improve model quality and reduce computational cost. Scale up large‑language‑model (LLM)‑based users and content understanding. Data availability, innovating on data ingestion and storage to achieve better availability and coverage for model training and serving.

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 challenges and expand our infrastructure, while maintaining a universally accessible and useful experience that people around the world rely on. In joining the Search team, you’ll have an opportunity to make an impact on billions of people globally.
