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.
Support one of Google's fastest growing internal AI assistants focused on info-seeking, learning, and first-line support for development. Over half of all Googlers regularly use this tool to improve their day-to-day workflows, answer technical questions, automatically run searches for clarification on internal policies, and more. Our outlook is to be the omnipresent and personal AI collaborator empowering every Googler to do their best work.
In this role, you will lead large workstreams to ensure top quality of Duckie outputs. You will also work closely with several partner teams to get the best out of our AI models.
