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 part of Google Pics, an upcoming AI-powered visual editor seamlessly integrated across Google Workspace to bring Gen-AI photo and design capabilities directly onto the canvas. In this role, you will work with the advanced image-understanding capabilities of GemPix and Gemini to empower users to intuitively edit, transform, and generate images across all Workspace surfaces. In this role, you will be executing against a 2026 roadmap, building on limited testing and consumer experiments ahead of a General Availability (GA) launch in 2026. You will join a team that requires executing at a fast pace against a comprehensive roadmap of model capabilities.
