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.

In this role, you will design, build, and maintain graph intelligence capabilities on Spanner. You will design, implement languages through which users can express their graph intelligence intent. You will explore, prototype, and productionize ways to integrate graph intelligence in AI/ML. As an individual contributor, you are expected to drive complex projects from vague requirements to production deployment with high independence.

Google Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to digitally transform its business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google’s cutting-edge technology, and tools that help developers build more sustainably. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical business problems.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop native capabilities to extract data intelligence (e.g., Graph Algorithms, GNN, Knowledge Graph Construction) on Spanner Graph, enable relationship-aware AI/ML.
• Design and develop GraphRAG solutions on Spanner Graph to help LLMs/agentic flows with accurate and cost-effective reasoning in context.
• Partner and work closely with internal and external customers to understand/predict graph intelligence needs and create solutions.
• Leadd production maintenance and support.
