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 be working with a team of engineers, machine learning experts, etc. in advancing artificial intelligence. The Cloud AI Quality Evaluation team defines success and builds evaluation and optimization harness for Cloud AI LLM products, establishes AutoEval metrics to track quality, and provides clear insights to guide development. We work closely with Google DeepMind Research teams to advance LLM evaluation and bring SOTA evaluation technology to Cloud. As a Staff Software Engineer on this team, you will be at the forefront of building solutions for the model and agent evaluation framework and optimization tools.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
