Senior Software Developer, Backend, Applied AI Agent Studio

Google Google · Big Tech · Waterloo, ON +2

Senior Software Developer role focused on building and scaling a backend platform for an Applied AI Agent Studio. The role involves designing and implementing infrastructure, APIs, and backend services for the entire generative AI agent lifecycle, including building, evaluating, deploying, monitoring, and optimizing agents. It emphasizes secure infrastructure on GCP, high-performance APIs for complex dialogues and autonomous tasks, and reliable data processing pipelines to support AI-centric workflows for enterprise customers at scale. The position also requires advocating for backend security and reliability best practices and leading technical goals within the team.

What you'd actually do

  1. Design and scale secure infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) that powers the entire generative AI agent lifecycle, empowering developers to seamlessly build, evaluate, deploy, monitor, and optimize agents.
  2. Bring strong system sensibility to design and implement high-performance APIs and backend services that enable developers to build AI agents capable of complex, open-ended dialogues and autonomous task completion.
  3. Maintain the complex data processing pipelines and backend logic required to reliably support AI-centric workflows, ensuring the platform serves enterprise customers around the world at scale.
  4. Advocate back-end security and reliability best practices, building systems capable of safely supporting AI agents interacting in complex, real-world scenarios with high-profile customers.
  5. Lead the back-end technical goal, solve ambiguous technical issues, and mentor developing teams to rapidly deliver new 0-to-1 capabilities with startup agility while directly collaborating with model builders.
