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 be developing systems that build on our powerful video content matching system to provide YouTube’s media partners and individual creators with the control over their content and personal attributes used in YouTube videos that they demand (and in many cases are required by law). Based on your preferences and experience, your responsibilities may range from well-defined sub problems (e.g., develop a tool to show partners within minutes of upload fake videos that concern them) to end-to-end ownership of ambiguous problems. You, along with our team of dedicated and talented Software Engineers (SWEs) will be responsible for ensuring that we provide best in the world tools that meet the growing demands of YouTube creators to protect and profit from their content.
