Software Engineer III, AI/ML, Search Intelligence at Google

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.

At Search Intelligence India, we are evolving how users discover information. We are moving beyond traditional search links to deliver AI Mode experiences and AI Overviews that provide immediate, comprehensive answers. We use Generative AI and Machine Learning to achieve this.

In this role, you will work on improving the quality of our AI Mode and AI Overview features, which are key components of the Search Results Page (SRP). You will have the opportunity to work with Generative AI and Machine Learning technologies to enhance the user experience.

In Google Search, we're reimagining what it means to search for information – any way and anywhere. To do that, we need to solve complex engineering challenges and expand our infrastructure, while maintaining a universally accessible and useful experience that people around the world rely on. In joining the Search team, you'll have an opportunity to make an impact on billions of people globally.
