Senior Software Engineer, Knowledge Catalog For 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.

Knowledge Catalog is the foundational context engine for the AI era. Designed as an always-on enterprise-wide catalog for AI, it serves as the single source of truth for both human users and AI agents. By bridging the gap between raw data and true business meaning, we power Google's Agentic Data Cloud (demoed at Google Cloud Next ’26 - Agentic Data Cloud), enabling AI agents to reason, act, and execute on complex enterprise data. It provides universal business context and governance for your entire data estate. Data teams and AI developers use Knowledge Catalog to discover data, enforce policies, and retrieve rich context for both analytics and autonomous applications.

In this role, you will empower AI agents across industry-leading Google Cloud and third-party data ecosystems (BigQuery, lakehouses, operational databases, etc.).
Google Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to digitally transform its business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google’s cutting-edge technology, and tools that help developers build more sustainably. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical business problems.Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
