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.

In this role, you will invent novel, low‑latency architectures that evaluate layouts in milliseconds while maximizing Tensor Processing Unit capabilities. In close collaboration with Deep Mind and Research, you will design sequence modeling to capture deep user history across modern experiences like Artificial Intelligence Overviews and Artificial Intelligence Mode. Additionally, you will engineer loss functions for auction dynamics and deploy agentic artificial intelligence workflows to accelerate model discovery.

Google Ads is helping power the open internet with the best technology that connects and creates value for people, publishers, advertisers, and Google. We’re made up of multiple teams, building Google’s Advertising products including search, display, shopping, travel and video advertising, as well as analytics. Our teams create trusted experiences between people and businesses with useful ads. We help grow businesses of all sizes from small businesses, to large brands, to You Tube creators, with effective advertiser tools that deliver measurable results.

We also enable Google to engage with customers ividual pay is determined by factors including job‑related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
