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.
In this role, you will join Google Health AI, an impact-driven research team whose mission is to catalyze the adoption of human-centered AI in healthcare and medicine. You will treat AI as transformational in these fields and a necessary component in realizing personalized medicine, expanding access for populations, improving quality and consistency, deploying care at the edge, and closing the loop of a learning healthcare system. Rather than addressing these objectives alone, you will partner with Google Product teams, Bets, external companies, non-profits, and governments to assess, develop, and deploy AI-powered breakthrough solutions that redefine the relationship between technology and health.

Google Research is building the next generation of intelligent systems for all Google products. To achieve this, we’re working on projects that utilize the latest computer science techniques developed by skilled software developers and research scientists. Google Research teams collaborate closely with other teams across Google, maintaining the flexibility and versatility required to adapt new projects and foci that meet the demands of the world's fast-paced business needs.

The US base salary range for this full-time position is $147,000-$211,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location.
