About The Position

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 manage information at a 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, your mission is to build a computer and unlock solutions to
classically intractable problems, as roadmap is focused on advancing the
capabilities of quantum computing and enabling meaningful applications.

As a part of the team, you will build and run algorithms on today’s world
leading quantum computers, and as these machines grow from research prototypes
into products, the software that orchestrates and executes quantum computations
will need to transition into a form that more closely resembles traditional
software products.

In this role, you will design and implement systems to build and release core
quantum software packages for a new quantum software product across a range of
environments running team-managed Kubernetes nodes. You will work closely with
the research, product, and software team as much of this work is greenfield,
representing an opportunity for high impact.The full potential of quantum
computing will be unlocked with a large-scale computer capable of
error-corrected computations. Google Quantum AI's mission is to build this
computer and unlock solutions to classically intractable problems. Our roadmap
is focused on advancing the capabilities of quantum computing and enabling
meaningful applications.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.
• 3 years of software development experience or 1 year with an advanced degree.
• 2 years of experience working with Kubernetes.
• 2 years of experience managing automated build and deployment systems.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with build and deployment tools.
• Experience building developer infrastructure.
• Familiarity or education in quantum computing with enthusiasm to learn more.

Responsibilities

• Scope problems and recommend solutions for both short and long-term needs, taking ownership of goal and roadmapping to influence other engineers, and implementing solutions or delegating to colleagues.
• Drive outcomes as a key contributor, designing or implementing projects that span multiple quarters without supervision, and consistently generating the ideas required to solve ambiguous problems.
• Write and review code to ensure best practices are met, contributing to data preparation, optimization, and performance enhancements confirming all aspects of technical work are high quality.
• Seek out and incorporate feedback on designs to determine when to enhance existing systems or build new systems, and contribute to existing documentation or educational content.
• Collaborate with other research groups and teams of different backgrounds, including hardware engineers, electronic engineers, or research scientists.
