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.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will move seamlessly from high-level software logic down to pipeline-level micro-architecture analysis. You should be comfortable with fast-paced, high-stakes engineering environments where "constantly learning" is a requirement, not a buzzword. You will use your experience on compiler-assisted performance engineering such as JIT compilation, symbolization, compiler-assisted profiling or analysis, code generation analysis, interaction between compiler optimization and micro-architectural innovation. Our work also allows for deep-diving into Android system software stack.

Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our team combines the best of Google AI, Software, and Hardware to create radically helpful experiences. We research, design, and develop new technologies and hardware to make computing faster, seamless, and more powerful. We aim to make people's lives better through technology.

The US base salary range for this full-time position is $174,000-$252,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring process.

• Plan and evaluate architectural features, providing data-driven insights that shape future SoC designs.
• Act as a technical pillar for the team, mentoring junior engineers and driving strategic deliverables.
