Senior Software Engineer, Advanced Algorithms and Graph Theory

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.

Google’s Global Network Infrastructure is expanding at an unprecedented pace. Driven by the rapid growth of Google Cloud and AI/ML, our ability to adapt instantly to market shifts is more critical than ever. To scale effectively, we are undergoing a major transformation by moving away from traditional methods and leveraging advanced software infrastructure to enable optimized data center planning, end-to-end demand planning, and streamlined supply data processing.

The Energy and Land Strategy (ELS) team plays a critical role in this growth strategy. Our engineering team develops a multi-layered optimization application to guide long-term infrastructure strategy and asset planning for data centers by balancing trade-offs between land, energy and network costs, along with power availability, network latency, carbon free energy goals, and delivery timelines over a multi-year horizon.

Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.
