Senior Software Engineer, Front End, Data Commons

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.

Data Commons' mission is to make all the world's public data universally accessible and useful. Our goal is to make the data a positive and impactful team for good by empowering analysts and decision makers, including historically data-averse and non-data savvy people, to make responsible, data-aware decisions.

In this role, you will design, communicate, and build prototypes to productionized systems in an open source environment to help users quickly understand and use the data in the Data Commons graph. You will need your full stack skills to help launch not just the front end, but all surface areas, including APIs. In other cases, you may be integrating our data into other third-party plugins and applications.

The Technology and Society organization connects research, people, and ideas across Google and Alphabet to help shape and advance our most ambitious technology innovations and initiatives and their impact on users and society for the better, and responsibly. In addition, we also aim to share perspectives, engage, and collaborate with others externally on technology related issues and opportunities for society.
