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.

We are building the future of autonomous work management and AI agents to assist

our teams and partners at scale. As a Senior Software Engineer, you will join a

team driving our agentic recursive self-improvement (RSI) strategy.

As part of our AI Agent Fleet, you will directly drive our self-improvement

architecture, focusing on continuous execution path analysis, automated

evaluation, and autonomous codebase fixes. Your work will reduce administrative

overhead in product development by enabling our agentic systems to autonomously

learn from past execution to fix their own codebase and improve overall system

quality.

The Core team builds the technical foundation behind Google’s flagship products.

We are owners and advocates for the underlying design elements, developer

platforms, product components, and infrastructure at Google. These are the

essential building blocks for excellent, safe, and coherent experiences for our

users and drive the pace of innovation for every developer. We look across

Google’s products to build central solutions, break down technical barriers and

strengthen existing systems. As the Core team, we have a mandate and a unique

opportunity to impact important technical decisions across the company.

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

experience, and relevant education or training.

US: $174000 - $252000 (USD) + 15% bonus target + equity + benefits
