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 Core Systems and Capacity Assurance (CSCA) Team is responsible for the journey of a new system from the point of manufacturing to data center delivery. We do this on projects that push the limits of technologies and provide you with an opportunity to make a broad impact across all of Google's product families. The technologies include systems that support machine learning, video transcoding, security, general compute, image processing, and storage. You will be a part of the new emerging technologies and systems that push the limits of computation.
