Senior Staff Software AI Engineer, Data Cloud Frontier AI

Google · Kirkland, WA, USA

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.

With your technical expertise you will manage project priorities, deadlines, and deliverables. You will design, develop, test, deploy, maintain, and enhance software solutions.

Our Frontier AI team exists to answer one question: "What’s next?" by building AI-native foundations that are trusted, flexible, and multimodal—making advanced intelligence as accessible as a SQL query.

As Senior Staff Software Engineer, you will define the technical trajectory and provide the architectural goal across Google Cloud Platform to realize the end-to-end foundations powering our autonomous agents.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
