Like Google's own ambitions, the work of a Software Engineer goes beyond just Search.

Teams work all across the company, in areas such as information retrieval, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, distributed computing, large-scale system design, networking, security, data compression, user interface design; the list goes on and is growing every day. Operating with scale and speed, our exceptional software engineers are just getting started -- and as a manager, you guide the way.

With technical and leadership expertise, you manage engineers across multiple teams and locations, a large product budget and oversee the deployment of large-scale projects across multiple sites internationally.

The Core Query Processing team’s mission is to support industry-leading query optimization and execution techniques with a focus on making SQL queries easier to authorize in general and improving price/performance of Online Transaction Processing (OLTP++) queries specifically.
