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. Geo is on a strategic multi-year initiative to drastically revamp the driving experience. The north star goal is for Google Maps to be the trusted copilot for drivers world wide, enabling stress‑free, safe, and sustainable trips and help users navigate with confidence. Our team is responsible for the data quality of road and lane data attributes and the construction of geometries used to render roads with richer lane details on the map. We achieve this through automation: leveraging AI/ML techniques to extract road and lane data from Geo’s extensive corpus of sensor, imagery, and location data, and through geometric algorithms (including GenAI) to construct consistent and smooth road and lane shapes in both 2D and 3D. The Geo team is focused on building the most accurate, comprehensive, and useful maps for our users, through products like Maps, Earth, Street View, Google Maps Platform, and more. Every month, more than a billion people rely on Maps services to explore the world and navigate their daily lives. The Geo team also enables developers to use the power of Google Maps platforms to enhance their apps and websites. As they plot a course for the future of mapping, they are solving complex computer science problems, designing beautiful and intuitive product experiences, and improving our understanding of the real world.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
