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. With your technical expertise you will manage project priorities, deadlines, and deliverables. You will design, develop, test, deploy, maintain, and enhance software solutions. As a part of the GenAI for Youth, a team within Kids and Families, you will be dedicated to developing the next-generation of scalable, systemically responsible, and high-integrity AI frameworks that power experiences across Google's products. Your mission is to bridge the gap between foundational model research and highly calibrated, age-appropriate production environments. You will build unified infrastructure that solves complex engineering, user classification, and behavioral modeling challenges once for the entire ecosystem. You will operate across multi-site engineering hubs, establish the technical strategy, algorithmic steering frameworks, and automated validation layers necessary to ensure that Google's AI-driven platform surfaces scale with complete structural accuracy, performance safety, and long-term ecosystem health.The Core team builds the technical foundation behind Google's flagship products. We are owners and advocates for the underlying design elements, developer platforms, product components, and infrastructure at Google. These are the essential building blocks for excellent, safe, and coherent experiences for our users and drive the pace of innovation for every developer. We look across Google's products to build central solutions, break down technical barriers and strengthen existing systems. As the Core team, we have a mandate and a unique opportunity to impact important technical decisions across the company.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, * Develop shared algorithmic frameworks and foundational math in core modeling domains, including runtime behavior steering, latent-space pattern detection, optimization loops, and fine-tuning rooted in industry best practices. * Streamline engineering efforts across global product lines by shifting fragmented, application-specific pipelines into cohesive, highly scalable, and reusable platform layers. * Architect definitive, automated evaluation methodologies and standardized benchmarking metrics to provide scientifically rigorous validation models, eliminating manual execution overhead. * Serve as a technical conduit between product, data science, applied engineering groups, machine learning research organizations, and centralized core infrastructure teams. * Act as a strategic advisory partner to executive engineering leadership on platform maturity, long-term technical debt reduction, and operational capacity across technical workstreams. ## Related Videos - [Resolving technical debts in software architecture](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1680-resolving-technical-debts-in-software-architecture) - [Writing a full-text search engine in TypeScript](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/504-writing-a-full-text-search-engine-in-typescript) - [Why and when should we consider Stream Processing frameworks in our solutions](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1085-why-and-when-should-we-consider-stream-processing-frameworks-in-our-solutions) - [You are not an AI developer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1148-you-are-not-an-ai-developer) - [Your Code as a Crime Scene](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1342-your-code-as-a-crime-scene) - [Coffee with Developers - Maria Apazoglou](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1209-coffee-with-developers-maria-apazoglou) ## Related Articles - [Got AI ideas but no money?
