Staff Software Engineer, Search Content Platforms

Google · São Paulo, State of São Paulo, Brazil

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 Search Content Platforms' mission is to understand and organize the world's content to power the best Search+ experiences, enabling disparate sources and modalities of content accessible and connected.

In the first decade, Google’s mission was to organize web content and connect users to information via 10 blue links. In the next decade, we built an answer engine and a rich set of domain-specific, immersive (vertical) Search experiences. Now, we offer an AI-forward, multimodal information experience, leveraging broader content availability and the advances in AI capabilities to harvest and organize our content.

The mission is to build a content platform that uses AI to minimize or eliminate the effort for both content providers to share their content with Google, and vertical teams to expose the content to users. 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.
