Job description

info_outline 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. Our mission is to Empower the next generation of creators to express themselves.

We make creation fun, easy, and accessible for everyone by turning the viewing and creation experiences into a launchpad for play. We are moving beyond core editing tools to create a world of playful, AI-powered experiences that make high-quality creation accessible to all. For this role, we are looking for someone who can scale the Shorts Editor architecture on Android such that it makes easy for us to build new core editing tools, empower them with AI, and simplify integration for partner teams such as Music, Trust & Safety (TnS), Effects, and more.

At YouTube, we believe that everyone deserves to have a voice, and that the world is a better place when we listen, share, and build community through our stories. We work together to give everyone the power to share their story, explore what they love, and connect with one another in the process. Working at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and boundless creativity, we move at the speed of culture with a shared goal to show people the world.

We explore new ideas, solve real problems, and have fun — and we do it all together.Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
