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.

BigQuery is a serverless platform processing millions of queries a second. Our mission is to move beyond simple automation and into the era of agentic AI, creating autonomous solutions that partner with users to solve complex data challenges.

Google Cloud accelerates digital transformation for every organization, and BigQuery is at the heart of that mission. As a Software Engineer in the Analytics AI organization, you will build the intelligent foundation for future data processing. In this role, you will design AI solutions that act as multipliers. You will architect agents capable of reasoning over vast datasets, optimizing pipelines, and assisting across the entire data lifecycle. You will work at the intersection of distributed systems and generative AI to ensure BigQuery remains the leader in intelligent data warehousing.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop next-generation agentic solutions that handle complex reasoning for data ingestion, feature extraction, and model training.
• Build scalable systems that integrate Large Language Models (LLMs) with BigQuery’s core engine to create autonomous experts for varied user personas.
• Iterate on agentic frameworks, contributing to sophisticated tool-use, multi-step orchestration, and rigorous evaluation (evals) to ensure reliability at petabyte scale.
• Build experiences that streamline work of data practitioners, be it data analysts, engineers, scientists or admins.
• Partner cross-functionally with Product, Data Scientists, and Designers to define the roadmap for AI-native data journeys. Mentor and guide junior engineers, fostering technical excellence in generative AI and distributed systems.
