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.

The Context Intelligence team builds the data discovery and context serving foundations for Google Cloud. When enterprise organizations use artificial intelligence assistants to analyze their data, those assistants need clear context about what tables exist, how datasets relate to each other, and how data is used across the business. Our team solves this by transforming raw metadata into structured, searchable knowledge.

Working from our engineering hub in Warsaw, you will join a collaborative group of engineers who design distributed storage systems, graph search services, and data analysis pipelines. You will partner directly with teams building cloud databases, data governance tools, and conversational assistants to shape how enterprises interact with their data.

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.
