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.

Search Experiment's mission is to enable Search developers to quickly and easily understand the impact of their changes on end-users. We support this by helping developers create, run, and manage experiments that automatically adhere to best practices, and leverage well-lit paths, allowing them to focus their time on developing features and making timely decisions about their launches.

Experiments are a vital piece of developing and launching value to users around the world. Through experimentation, we allow for safe and reliable investigations and research which enable the best possible Search experiences. We own the end-to-end experiment flow from configuration to run and analysis, and we partner and collaborate with many cross-functional teams to improve the end-to-end experience.

In Google Search, we're reimagining what it means to search for information – any way and anywhere. To do that, we need to solve complex engineering challenges and expand our infrastructure, while maintaining a universally accessible and useful experience that people around the world rely on. In joining the Search team, you'll have an opportunity to make an impact on billions of people globally.
