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. Accel Platforms and Lab Team's mission is to empower Google's accelerator roadmap by engineering foundational hardware (PCIe, fabric, IOMMU) and low-level software (kernel, firmware). We provide reliable, secure, and efficient accelerator-to-host connectivity to enable cutting-edge use cases. The team is also responsible for onboarding new types of domain-specific accelerators into Google data centers. As a Staff Software Engineer on the Emerging Accelerator System team, you will have influence well beyond yourself, solving complex challenges in low-level software and hardware interaction. Your role is critical to Google's accelerator roadmap. 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. Our customers include Googlers, Google Cloud customers, and billions of Google users worldwide. We're the driving force behind Google's groundbreaking innovations, empowering the development of our cutting-edge AI models, delivering unparalleled computing power to global services, and providing the essential platforms that enable developers to build the future. From software to hardware our teams are shaping the future of world-leading hyperscale computing, with key teams working on the development of our TPUs, Vertex AI for Google Cloud, Google Global Networking, Data Center operations, systems research, and much more.Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. US: $207000 - $301000 (USD) + 20% bonus target + equity + benefits, * On-board emerging co-accelerators into Google's ML accelerator families to enable new use cases with improved performance and efficiency. * Collaborate with internal teams to design and implement new features in system software, including firmware or daemons running on BMC/hosts and kernel drivers. * Design and develop tests, tools, telemetry, and dashboards to generate insights to monitor and debug potential issues. * Analyze, debug, and resolve complex system-level challenges related to host and management software stacks. * Provide technical leadership to help formulate and drive software development plans and identify dependencies in cross-functional teams. ## Related Videos - [WWC24 - Ankit Patel - Unlocking the Future Breakthrough Application Performance and Capabilities with NVIDIA](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/920-wwc24-ankit-patel-unlocking-the-future-breakthrough-application-performance-and-capabilities-with-nvidia) - [Playing Pong on a shoulder press machine](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100140-playing-pong-on-a-shoulder-press-machine) - [The Sustainability Race: AI's Promises, Pitfalls and Potential](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100155-the-sustainability-race-ai-s-promises-pitfalls-and-potential) - [Building the Nervous System of AI - Michael Kagan (NVIDIA)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2133-building-the-nervous-system-of-ai-michael-kagan-nvidia) - [Coffee with Developers - Stephen Jones - NVIDIA](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1303-coffee-with-developers-stephen-jones-nvidia) - [Agent Smith Gets Hardware: Autonomous IoT Hacking From Debug Port to Cloud API](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100258-agent-smith-gets-hardware-autonomous-iot-hacking-from-debug-port-to-cloud-api) ## Related Articles - [Got AI ideas but no money?
