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.

YouTube Studio is the mission-critical platform where millions of creators turn their ideas into global cultural movements, businesses, and communities.

As an Senior Software Engineer and Technical Lead for the Studio Client Infra team, you will be a key architect of the engine that powers the world’s largest creator ecosystem. You have influence well beyond yourself. You aren't just writing code—you are building the "foundational highway" that over 50 YouTube feature teams (including Shopping, Community, and Monetization) rely on to reach their users across Web, iOS, and Android. You will lead the technical design for our modernization shift and drive the deep integration of Generative AI into our native runtimes, defining how the next generation of creators will interact with technology.

At YouTube, we believe that everyone deserves to have a voice, and that the world is a better place when we listen, share, and build community through our stories. We work together to give everyone the power to share their story, explore what they love, and connect with one another in the process. Working at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and boundless creativity, we move at the speed of culture with a shared goal to show people the world. We explore new ideas, solve real problems, and have fun — and we do it all together.
