ABOUT THE JOB:

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.

The Documents team mission is to differentiate the Docs editor and connect our

users through effective and simple tools for collaboration and productivity. Our

strategy is to build new ways of collaborating within Docs and across Google

Workspace powered by Generative AI. We will continue to work on ways to help

users more efficiently write high-quality, productive documents using assistive

technologies.

This role involves building full stack Generative AI features for Google Docs.

This includes Gen AI quality iterations and evaluations to build AI features in

Google Docs.

AI will change the future of work in profound ways, and our products— Gmail,

Docs, Drive, Calendar, Sheets, Vids and Meet are at the forefront. From

pre-computed summaries for email threads, summaries for meetings, and videos

created from a document using lifelike AI avatars, our AI opportunity is huge.

Our mission is to meaningfully connect people so they can create, build, and

grow together and as part of the team you can build how productivity tools

should work 5-10 years into the future. You will work with model builders

(Google DeepMind), work with exceptional leaders, and have the ability to impact

billions of users across the world.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills,

experience, and relevant education or training.
