Staff Software Engineer, Home Infrastructure

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.

The Health and Home organization is dedicated to creating intelligent, context-aware home environments and empowering users to live longer, healthier lives.

The Infrastructure team enables the seamless development and operation of these experiences. Our core focus is on building scalable serving and offline infrastructure, coherent internal developer platforms, easy-to-use Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), and secure data services. As both product areas rapidly accelerate their Artificial Intelligence (AI) usage, our team provides the critical technical infrastructure required to power the next generation of Health and Home innovation.

The Platforms and Devices team encompasses Google's various computing software platforms across environments (desktop, mobile, applications), as well as our first party devices and services that combine the best of Google AI, software, and hardware. Teams across this area research, design, and develop new technologies to make our user's interaction with computing faster and more seamless, building innovative experiences for our users around the world.
