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.

Within Geo, our guiding principle is to: route everyone.

Some of our recent success include a collaboration with deep mind, and our work on eco routing and safety. These successes come as a result of a multi-year effort to rearchitect our core query engine to use modern Internet scale data and machine learning patterns.

The Geo team is focused on building the most accurate, comprehensive, and useful maps for our users, through products like Maps, Earth, Street View, Google Maps Platform, and more. Every month, more than a billion people rely on Maps services to explore the world and navigate their daily lives.

The Geo team also enables developers to use the power of Google Maps platforms to enhance their apps and websites. As they plot a course for the future of mapping, they are solving complex computer science problems, designing beautiful and intuitive product experiences, and improving our understanding of the real world.

Responsibilities

• Lead teams in building the routing engine in Maps.
• Be responsible for coordinating technical architecture and design across six sub-teams (e.g., Internet scale infrastructure, Graph Search, Our external-facing APIs, Data use and privacy, and machine learning systems).
• Develop the technical capabilities of the organization by growing engineers, communicating technical progress internally and externally, creating consistency in engineering process, and embodying our engineering principles into the work the team does.
• Be a member of the organization's leadership team.
