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.
In this role, you will be a key contributor in developing AI driven capabilities and features for learning products in Search Web and Lens. You will work in close collaboration with product, data, UX and other engineering and research teams. You will put yourself in users shoes, identifying, proposing and driving engineering solutions that bring AI capabilities for learning to the surfaces our users use. Your day to day work will include creating training datasets, fine-tuning, prompt optimization, evaluating model performance, detecting headroom, launching AI driven features and enabling surface specific quality.
