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.

Our team is at the forefront of building the next generation of conversational
AI. We are developing multimodal, agentic AI solutions for smart glasses, to
create a unique, proactive, and trusted multimodal experience. This technology
delivers instant, natural conversational intelligence directly to the user's eye
and ear, allowing them to navigate and interact with their physical world more
immersively than ever.

As a Senior AI Engineer, you will play a technical leadership role at the
forefront of developing groundbreaking multimodal agentic AI solutions for smart
glasses. You will architect and ship trusted, real-time conversational
experiences that seamlessly blend voice, streaming vision, and physical-world
context.

For decades, the computing revolution has reshaped our world driven by
breakthroughs in compute, connectivity, mobile, and now, AI. Google's XR
team is at the forefront of the next major leap – the convergence of AI and
XR. This is more than just new devices – it's about reimagining how we
interact with the world around us. We're building a future where
lightweight XR devices like smart glasses and headsets pair with helpful AI
to augment human intelligence, offering personalized, conversational, and
contextually aware experiences.

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