About this role

Software Engineer, BigQuery, Query Processing Core Runtime Kirkland, WA, USA Google Cloud's software engineers develop the next-generation technologies that change how billions of users connect, explore, and interact with information and one another. 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 Cloud's needs with opportunities to switch teams and projects as you and our fast-paced business grow and evolve. You will anticipate our customer needs and be empowered to act like an owner, take action and innovate. 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.

The trend is so profound that some ex-BigQuery leaders even start new businesses to solve that exact use case (e.g. big data is dead). Our mission is to make BigQuery the best solution for those workloads. In this role, you will build optimizations to solve parts of this problem, that small queries on industry benchmarks can execute an order of magnitude faster if we cut overhead and optimize execution,
