Job description
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.
This role is in the Async Media team, which builds and owns the backend infrastructure and platform for Google Meet's asynchronous media processing, including features like Recordings and Live Streaming.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be a key technical leader responsible for designing, building, and evolving scalable, reliable, and high-performance distributed systems and services. You will take on complex and often ambiguous problems within the media processing pipelines, driving significant features and architectural improvements from conception to launch. You will influence the team's technical direction, mentor other engineers, and collaborate across teams to deliver robust solutions that impact millions of users daily. This is an opportunity to shape the future of post-meeting media experiences in Google Meet.
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.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
US: $174000 - $252000 (USD) + 15% bonus target + equity + benefits
