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.

Come help shape the future of green computing at Google and in the industry. To meet Google's increasing LLM and Cloud demands while accelerating net zero carbon, we need to identify and implement novel solutions to flatten the lifecycle carbon emission curves for our compute infrastructure, which requires a new suite of analytics, models, tools, and systems for exploring and evaluating effective ideas. You will be working on carbon reduction optimizations for both general purpose compute and accelerated ML platforms, with an emphasis on hardware-software co-optimizations for both Cloud and internal use cases. These will include developing end-to-end energy efficiency and lifecycle evaluation/analysis/optimization support for new and existing hardware products, evaluating and developing new system architectures, as well as improving the end-to-end software stack.

Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.
