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 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.With your technical expertise you will manage project priorities, deadlines, and deliverables. You will design, develop, test, deploy, maintain, and enhance software solutions. In this role, you will transform the development of AI agents from an artisanal craft into an engineering discipline to achieve high-quality, reliability with multi-folds efficiency gains across Google. You will architect and productionize horizontal infrastructure, including generalized Knowledge Store libraries and self-reflection modules. You will apply core design principles, lead deep audits of high-impact agents to extract deterministic logic from monolithic prompts into efficient, code-based workflows. You will scale automated prompt optimization and trace scanning tools to systematically eliminate waste and solve the "GenAI engineering gap" for teams building production-ready agents. Your work will bridge the gap between experimental prototypes and scalable production infrastructure.Google Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to digitally transform its business and industry.
