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.
The Search Content Understanding (SCU) team provides the foundational intelligence layer that connects unstructured text to named entities and open domain concepts. We build the systems that understand and resolve entity references across all forms of content, from billions of web documents and user queries, to real-time LLM-generated text.
As Search evolves into a generative experience, the key to making AI responses trustworthy and actionable is accurate entity grounding. By identifying the exact entities and concepts within a generated response, our systems enable dynamic UI interactions, anchor facts, and seamlessly connect users to deeper journeys across the broader Google ecosystem.
