About the job


Google's software engineers develop the next-generation technologies that change how billions of users connect, explore, and interact with information. Our products need to manage information at massive scale, and extend well beyond web search. Labs is a group focused on incubating early-stage efforts that help discover and create new ways to advance our core products through exploration and the application of new technologies.

As a Staff Software Engineer in Labs, you will support a zero-to-one product opportunity aimed at solving friction points for knowledge workers. You will lead the engineering strategy for a brand new, Android and IOS, mobile-first application, architecting core experiences from scratch. You will leverage Google's technological moats, including on-device capabilities and advanced Gemini infrastructure, to build innovative, agentic mobile experiences.

Labs is a group focused on incubating early-stage efforts in support of Google's mission to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our team exists to help discover and create new ways to advance our core products through exploration and the application of new technologies.
