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.
In this role, you will lead an engineering team in architecture to the next generation of video editing on YouTube Shorts. Centered on an AI-first editing flow, you will solve the unique tests of building for millions of creators, moving the platform from traditional manual tools to an agentic orchestrator. You will scale the architecture to build core editing tools that deliver an exceptional, complete editing experience. You will also have an opportunity to influence the road map of every partner team that works in Creation.
At YouTube, we believe that everyone deserves to have a voice, and that the world is a better place when we listen, share, and build community through our stories.

We explore new ideas, solve real problems, and have fun — and we do it all together.
