Our goal is to drive Search product excellence and growth with data insights. We perform analysis to help the Search organization make big investment decisions and conduct research on topline and operational metrics to drive data-driven choices.
As a Staff Software Engineer focusing on Data Engineering, you will build the scalable data foundations that empower this mission. You will work end-to-end to help build products that users love, enabling headroom analysis, experiment analysis, and technical trade-offs between competing metrics (e.g., richness of experience vs. search latency) through machine-consumable data systems
In Google Search, we're reimagining what it means to search for information – any way and anywhere. To do that, we need to solve complex engineering challenges and expand our infrastructure, while maintaining a universally accessible and useful experience that people around the world rely on. In joining the Search team, you'll have an opportunity to make an impact on billions of people globally.
