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 manage information at a 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 build a quantum computer and develop quantum applications and algorithms that require many experiments which generate a lot of data as the data services and simulations team creates and maintains the infrastructure that stores and serves this data.In this role, you will develop and maintain the infrastructure that stores data from experiments as well as the parameters needed to configure the quantum processors. You will maintain existing services for storing experimental data sets as well as processor parameters. In addition, the candidate will participate in design and implementation of next-generation storage for early fault-tolerant quantum devices.The full potential of quantum computing will be unlocked with a large-scale computer capable of error-corrected computations. Google Quantum AI's mission is to build this computer and unlock solutions to classically intractable problems. Our roadmap is focused on advancing the capabilities of quantum computing and enabling meaningful applications.Responsibilities
- Design and implement features useful for next-generation data storage.
- Sustain existing data services, ensuring high throughput and low latency for internal users.
- Perform bug triage, business-hours on-call, and participate in team meetings.
- Strengthen testing and tooling, and develop internal documentation for data services.
- Optimize the performance and maintainability of the code base by diagnosing bottlenecks, refactoring, and applying targeted revisions.
