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 handle information at massive scale and extend beyond web search. We seek engineers who bring fresh ideas from all areas—including information retrieval, distributed computing, large‑scale system design, networking, data storage, security, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, UI design, and mobile—continually expanding our capabilities. As a software engineer, you will work on a specific project critical to Google’s needs, with opportunities to switch teams and projects as the business evolves. You must be versatile, display leadership qualities, and be enthusiastic about solving new problems across the full stack.

With your technical expertise you will manage project priorities, deadlines, and deliverables. You will design, develop, test, deploy, maintain, and enhance software solutions. The full potential of quantum computing will be unlocked with a large‑scale computer capable of complex, error‑corrected computations. Google Quantum AI’s mission is to build this computer and unlock solutions to classically intractable problems. Our roadmap focuses on advancing quantum computing capabilities and enabling meaningful applications.

Responsibilities

Assess problems and recommend solutions for both short‑ and long‑term needs, taking ownership of goal setting, roadmapping, and influencing other engineers.

Drive outcomes as a key contributor, designing or implementing projects that span multiple quarters without supervision and consistently generating the ideas needed to solve ambiguous problems.

Write and review code to ensure best practices are met, contributing to data preparation, optimization, and performance enhancements while maintaining high‑quality technical work.

Seek out and incorporate feedback on designs to determine when to enhance existing systems or build new ones, and contribute to documentation or educational content.

Work closely with other research groups and collaborate with teams of different backgrounds, including hardware engineers, electronic engineers, and research scientists.

Compensation The US base salary range for this full‑time position is $141,000–$202,000, plus bonus, equity, and benefits.
