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. 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.

LiteRT is Google's next generation on-device AI framework, succeeding TensorFlow Lite (TFLite). It is designed to maximize the performance, efficiency, and portability of ML models on a wide array of edge devices, from mobile phones to embedded systems. LiteRT significantly upgrades GPU acceleration and introduces native NPU acceleration, while maintaining and enhancing the robust CPU performance inherited from TFLite.

LiteRT enables developers and Google products to deploy AI across mobile, web, desktop, and embedded. Our team focuses on building cross-platform infrastructure aligned with Google's business needs, serving top Google products (Android, Chrome, Photos, Meet, Youtube, etc), third-party developers, and specialized Pixel solutions. Our goal is to provide on-device AI infrastructure with exceptional performance, enabling framework and device flexibility at scale.

Google Cloud accelerates every organization's ability to digitally transform its business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google's cutting-edge technology, and tools that help developers build more sustainably. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical business problems.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
