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.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will provide technical leadership and drive

the architectural direction of core platform capabilities leveraging Google’s

full stack and advanced Gemini agent infrastructure. You will lead the design

and end-to-end execution of complex, high-impact systems spanning rapid

development platforms and production shepherding workflows, establishing robust

standards for seamless human-agent collaboration and automated release

governance.

In this role, you will

overcome ambiguous technical challenges, mentor junior
engineers, and partner closely with cross-functional teams to define extensible
APIs and integration frameworks. Your contributions will directly amplify
engineering velocity across Google, automate compliance and launch safety at
scale, and set the benchmark for enterprise-grade, agent-driven operations.
The Core team builds the technical foundation behind Google’s flagship products.
We are owners and advocates for the underlying design elements, developer
platforms, product components, and infrastructure at Google. These are the
essential building blocks for excellent, safe, and coherent experiences for our
users and drive the pace of innovation for every developer. We look across
Google’s products to build central solutions, break down technical barriers and
strengthen existing systems. As the Core team, we have a mandate and a unique
opportunity to impact important technical decisions across the company.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills,
experience, and relevant education or training.

RESPONSIBILITIES:
* Lead and participate in technical design reviews, system reliability
improvements, and documentation.
* Design and build extensible platform capabilities for rapid application
scaffolding, interactive canvases, and live preview environments using Full
stack tech stack and Gemini Agents.
* Design human-in-the-loop (HITL) interfaces and operational panes to give
engineers transparent control over production-bound agents.
* Build robust frameworks, APIs, and grounding pipelines integrating core
internal systems to maximize agent accuracy and context.
* Implement scalable, high-quality features across the entire stack, from
frontend user interfaces (Angular) to backend services (Gemini, Python, Go,
Kotlin, Angular).
