The role
From Google's own posting.
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.
As a software engineer on the research infrastructure team, you will build and maintain the infrastructure that powers cutting edge health research, which leads to products relied on by millions of people in their daily lives.
We are a highly collaborative team. You will work closely with engineers across several sites, including London, Los Angeles, Seattle, and Bengaluru.
On this team, you will be an active participant in our planning process. You will deeply understand the "why" behind your work and its impact on our users, contribute your own ideas to shape our technical direction, and ensure your contributions align with our broader strategy and business goals.
The Platforms and Devices team encompasses Google's various computing software platforms across environments (desktop, mobile, applications), as well as our first party devices and services that combine the best of Google AI, software, and hardware. Teams across this area research, design, and develop new technologies to make our user's interaction with computing faster and more seamless, building innovative experiences for our users around the world.
