About the job

the company'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 the company’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.

We are modifying third-party content at every level, and inserting new content and ads into that stream. Publishers are placing an exceptional degree of trust in the company by allowing us to influence the entire page and user journey under their brand, and you will be proposing, designing, and delivering engineering solutions to the many challenges.

This requires a flexible approach to working on problems across multiple programming languages and systems, from pipelines to application layer to UI.

the company Ads is helping power the open internet with the best technology that connects and creates value for people, publishers, advertisers, and the company. We’re made up of multiple teams, building the company’s Advertising products including search, display, shopping, travel and video advertising, as well as analytics. Our teams create trusted experiences between people and businesses with useful ads. We help grow businesses of all sizes from small businesses, to large brands, to YouTube creators, with effective advertiser tools that deliver measurable results. We also enable the company to engage with customers at scale.

Responsibilities

• Develop a deep understanding of the Web ecosystem: how sites are developed and monetized, and how to provide a fair exchange of users with content and ads.
• Investigate innovative technical solutions to these challenges, especially bringing the company's cutting-edge AI out of the lab and into real apps with billions in annual revenue at stake. This work can involve anything from big data pipelines to meticulous pixel-level analysis of web content, and thinking from backend to frontend and back again to make everything work smoothly together.
• Design, build, roll out, and monitor systems that implement these solutions.
• Work with a great engineering team alongside partners from UX, Product, Sales and more, to keep the company as a trusted partner for many existing and future websites.
