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.
As a tech lead, you will lead the architecture and development of EGI Foundry (Enterprise AI Platforms and Agent Architecture.) -our platform for building, composing, and operationalizing enterprise intelligence applications (adapting modern AI platform paradigms to Google's enterprise scale). You will design deep ontology to model enterprise workflows, documents, and data entities, enabling agents to reason over complex enterprise contexts with high fidelity.
You will manage fundamental challenges at the intersection of large-scale systems and generative AI: from architecting agent composition frameworks and generative UIs to designing automated learning loops that continuously improve agent accuracy from human operator feedback.
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.
