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.

With your technical expertise you will manage project priorities, deadlines, and deliverables. You will design, develop, test, deploy, maintain, and enhance software solutions.

Ads Quality Infrastructure is the core infrastructure powering Google's Search Ads. In this role, you will manage the core data platform team. You will focus on three foundational pillars:

• Core Data Platform: The engine for extracting, transforming, and propagating Ads data, hosting streams and pipelines, and serving pipelines under strict availability and latency service level agreement (SLAs).
• LLM Workflow Integration: Hosted infrastructure to integrate LLM workflows with the infrastructure stack for content understanding and generation.
• Data Observability: To provide visibility into pipeline data, lineage, debugging, and business and infrastructure metrics.

You will also have the opportunity to shape critical Ads data infrastructure.

Google Ads is helping power the open internet with the best technology that connects and creates value for people, publishers, advertisers, and Google. We’re made up of multiple teams, building Google’s Advertising products including search, display, shopping, travel and video advertising, as well as analytics.
