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.

Our team is driving efforts to improve the performance and reliability of Core Data Serving services, ease maintenance, enable scalability, and increase client velocity through automation. Our ultimate goal is to turn the Union/Muppet service, originally started as infrastructure specifically for web search, into a truly multi-tenant service providing an awesome search experience to all of Google. While we’ve made great strides towards that goal in the last few years, we still have significant gaps to fill. We are developing infrastructure for managing capacity and resources, enabling service transparency, improving isolation and efficiency, designing and building the next-generation service.

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.
