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. While known for pioneering work with TPUs, GPUs are an equally vital and rapidly expanding frontier within Google's machine learning infrastructure. GPUs are indispensable to Google's ever-evolving landscape for strategic, pragmatic, and performance-driven reasons - ensuring top performance for our ML models, adapting to ML workloads, achieving results, and influencing next-gen GPU architectures via strategic partnerships., * Build optimizations for the latest generation of GPUs that power Google's most critical products and services, impacting billions of users worldwide. * Address the most challenging performance bottlenecks through Google's unparalleled access to the latest generation of GPUs, tooling, and a decade of experience building AI accelerators. * Drive optimizations across Google's GPU software stack from ML compiler cost model design to optimizing high performance GPU kernels to cross node model serving configurations. * Influence the technical direction of the GPU software ecosystem at Google by collaborating with ML, compiler design, and systems architecture teams. * Influence the deployment of Google's GPU fleet by working with various product teams across Google. ## Related Videos - [Coffee with Developers - Stephen Jones - NVIDIA](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1303-coffee-with-developers-stephen-jones-nvidia) - [Writing a full-text search engine in TypeScript](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/504-writing-a-full-text-search-engine-in-typescript) - [Leapter: The Reinvention of Software Development?
