Software Engineer, Model Service, Cloud AI

Staff Software Engineer, Model as a Service, Cloud AI

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 AI industry is rapidly adopting GenAI models due to their versatility and powerful capabilities in creating text, code, images, videos and more via increasingly more complex input context length. However, even the most technically competent businesses and GenAI developers will face challenges in development, scaling and managing the cost and infrastructure required to host such large models. Our Model as a Service (MaaS) aims to provide a much needed new level of abstraction to remove the complexity of development and provide large GenAI models as a scalable, cloud-based service with an enhanced suite of tools to facilitate the use, integration, and model management.

Google Cloud accelerates every organization's ability to digitally transform its business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google's cutting-edge technology, and tools that help developers build more sustainably. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical business problems.
