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.
Google Assistant Infrastructure builds, maintains and evolves the Assistant Platforms that powers all of the assistant queries and interactions. Our mission is to make it easy to build and maintain high quality Assistant features by reducing conceptual complexity and providing easy to use APIs and tools.
Assistant Frontend Server (ASFE) is the entry point to the Assistant server stack. ASFE is the highly available, secure, and easy to use proxy and routing layer of all assistant traffic (inbound and outbound). ASFE supports multiple secure connectivity protocols (e.g. HTTP/gRPC), Google’s standard authentication and authorization, easily measurable traffic quality/cost attribution, and proxy/indirection layer for other backend services. ASFE provides well defined and easily testable APIs (external and internal) that support Assistant customer journeys.
