About the job
You lead all aspects of web development, requirements gathering, software development, testing, documentation, training, implementation, ongoing support, and maintenance for both in-house and customer-facing web applications. You will work closely with a cross-functional team of Googlers using UI and functional specs/prototypes as input. You are empowered to act like an owner, take action and innovate to meet user and customer needs.
The ASCII (Alphabet Supply Chain Intelligence and Innovation) Design and Engineering Systems team forms the bedrock of Google's Technical Infrastructure.
As an Application Engineer, using the third-party enterprise software and custom-built platforms, you will create systems to define and manage product data for everything from Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) Pods to data center buildings and beyond. You will work closely with Googlers across disciplines including Supply Chain Operations and Mechanical, Electrical, Manufacturing, and Configuration Engineering, empowering them to effectively model physical hardware, manage changes, identify and mitigate risk. In this role, you'll creatively apply emerging technology including AI to accelerate product development, proactively provide insights, and efficiently serve authoritative data at Google scale for critical downstream functions including planning, manufacturing, deployment, construction, and field service.
Responsibilities
- Take ownership of technical issues, independently designing, coding, testing, and deploying end-to-end solutions that manage Google’s critical hardware data.
