About the job

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.

Platforms Engineering performs research, design and development for the hardware, software and networking technologies that power all of Google's products and services. We constantly work on solutions not only to deliver the next generation compute, storage and networking products for the Google worldwide data centers, but also to counter the implications of Moore’s Law. Platforms offers impactful projects at every level of the technology stack, from the chip level to distributed systems design and software development.

The GPU System Software team is responsible for building quality GPU compute solutions that power various Google services such as Google Cloud, YouTube, DeepMind, etc. We also maintain the systems deployed in the data centers with state of the art reliability monitoring services, kernel rollouts, firmware and driver upgrades.

Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.
