Google Technology/Software

Senior Software Engineer, Full Stack, Google Labs

Mountain View, CA In person Full-time

Architect, implement, and ship end-to-end experimental software prototypes—from backend models and infrastructure to client interfaces—moving from whiteboard to live prototype in days, not quarters. Own project direction in uncharted problem spaces with minimal supervision, translating open-ended research ideas and product hypotheses into crisp technical requirements and roadmaps. Run high-velocity user-facing experiments; objectively evaluate product signal, ruthlessly unblock bottlenecks, and seamlessly pivot technical direction or adopt entirely new tech stacks as projects evolve or wind down.

Work directly in tight, high-trust pods alongside Research Scientists, Product Managers, and UX Designers to co-design novel user interactions and push the boundaries of frontier AI. Balance rapid speed to market with foundational code quality, ensuring prototypes are built reliably enough to gather signal while knowing when to build lightweight vs. enterprise-hardened solutions.
