Job description
Google's software engineers develop the next-generation technologies that change how millions of users connect, explore, and interact with information and one another. Our ambitions reach far beyond just Search. Our products need to handle information at the scale of the web. We're looking for ideas from every area of computer science, including information retrieval, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, distributed computing, large-scale system design, networking, security, data compression, and user interface design; the list goes on and is growing every day. As a software engineer, you work on a small team and can switch teams and projects as our fast-paced business grows and evolves. We need our engineers to be versatile and passionate to tackle new problems as we continue to push technology forward.

Our mission is to build the tools that make it possible to plan, deploy, monitor and manage the data facilities, networks and machines that power every Google product and service. We operate in a challenging environment. We're looking for entrepreneurial software engineers to help solve the problems we face. As a developer on our team, you are responsible for designing, developing and deploying mission critical applications.

Area

Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running.

We're always on call to keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.
