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.

As a Software Engineer, you will provide the infrastructure and application programming interfaces (APIs) that enable distributed debugging and development across Google, at a scale unmatched anywhere else. You will build the next generation of debugging services that will transform debugging at Google and make it easy to root cause events at large-scale, distributed systems in a privacy-safe way. You will also build services that scale well and handle large workloads, and will add minimum latency to clients and will be inexpensive to operate.

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.

• Solve problems around query latency, data freshness, index correctness and serving at scale.
• Automate and improve efficiency in operational and user support.
• Support users with system integrations and resolve client issues.
• Participate in weekly onduty rotation to address user and operational tickets.
• Collaborate with privacy to explore options for quick access to debug data while protecting users' data.
