About the job

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.

Responsibilities

  • Develop 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).
  • Help solve problems (e.g., develop a tool to show partners within minutes of upload fake videos that concern them) and end-to-end ownership of ambiguous problems (e.g., how do we reduce the number of claims we send to partners to review without impacting precision?, how can we use historic claim behaviour between a partner and channel to make better claiming decisions?).
