About the job

As a Staff Software Engineer on the EDP&G team, you will serve as the principal technical architect and engineering leader anchoring embedded domain integration models. You will own the technical strategy, design, and execution required to bridge centralized enterprise data platforms with cross-domain business environments.

In this role, you will define how Google builds high-integrity semantic engines and agentic endpoints that power autonomous AI workflows across the company. You will not only oversee implementation within critical domains, but you will also architect the core frameworks that allow domain-specific technical enhancements to scale back into the centralized Enterprise Data Platform. You are a technical visionary, a respected peer to group product leads, and a mentor to engineering teams navigating highly ambiguous, distributed, and data-intensive environments.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
