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.

Google launched Rich Business Messaging (RBM) and since then it has grown rapidly among more than 1.5 billion RCS users around the globe. We are on the path of exponential growth with worldwide RCS coverage and adoption across clients. We have significant traction across the industry. Even as we continue to scale significantly, we are still very much in an early stage. This ecosystem has a huge opportunity, serving trillions of messages to billions of users across the world, and we are at a right point in this growth curve. We are expanding the team in Poland and are looking for strong engineering talent to help us achieve our ambitious goals.

The Core team builds the technical foundation behind Google’s flagship products. We are owners and advocates for the underlying design elements, developer platforms, product components, and infrastructure at Google. These are the essential building blocks for excellent, safe, and coherent experiences for our users and drive the pace of innovation for every developer. We look across Google’s products to build central solutions, break down technical barriers and strengthen existing systems. As the Core team, we have a mandate and a unique opportunity to impact important technical decisions across the company.
