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 Network Demand Generation (Demand FA) team is the strategic engine behind NetSoft’s mission to architect Google’s global production network. Our mission is to build the automated systems that translate Google’s product ambitions from Gemini to Cloud into the physical reality of the world’s most sophisticated network infrastructure. As we scale into the AI era, demand financial analysis (FA) is fundamentally rethinking how we plan. We are moving away from process‑heavy, human‑in‑the‑loop workflows toward a fully autonomous platform. Our software directly dictates billions of dollars in annual capital expenditures (CAPEX) investment, ensuring Google has the capacity to innovate while maintaining optimal cost performance.

The AI and Infrastructure team is redefining what’s possible. We empower Google customers with breakthrough capabilities and insights by delivering AI and Infrastructure at unparalleled scale, efficiency, reliability and velocity.
