As a Senior Web Solutions Engineer, you will focus on developing software-driven solutions for intricate business challenges. This role emphasizes automation, the creation of scalable solutions, and adherence to robust software engineering practices. You'll be instrumental in leading projects and delivering comprehensive designs, code, and tests for backend service architecture, high-throughput data pipelines, and API integrations that connect seamlessly with client web applications and partner portals.

This position offers a platform to champion ideas from conception through to successful delivery. You will collaborate closely with organizational leaders and fellow engineers. Strong communication abilities are vital, given the frequent and close interaction with global stakeholders across various teams.

Design, construct, and maintain robust backend service layers and APIs that integrate flawlessly with web-based client applications. Develop innovative AI-powered solutions utilizing Google’s Agent Development Kit and other internal libraries to address complex business and engineering problems. Identify opportunities for AI or traditional systems to enhance scalability and operational efficiency in human- and agent-centered workflows. Lead complex projects from initiation to completion across diverse time zones, demonstrating initiative and independence. Effectively align local and remote stakeholders to maintain project momentum. Deliver high-quality code and comprehensive tests, ensuring the reliability, security, and accuracy of deployed solutions. This includes establishing testing and evaluation frameworks for both deterministic and model-based outputs. Foster collaboration with a global team, primarily in the US and APAC regions, across different time zones. Serve as a trusted technical representative in cross-functional project engagements.

A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field is required, or equivalent practical experience in software development. Possess at least 6 years of professional experience in backend programming languages such as Java, Python, or C++. Demonstrated experience working with various database technologies, including SQL and NoSQL.

While not mandatory, experience with agentic AI frameworks and LLM tooling (e.g., LLMs, Agentic harnesses, Vector Embeddings, and RAG) is highly valued. Familiarity with distributed data processing (e.g., BigQuery, Spark), event streaming (e.g., Kafka), and scalable communication protocols (e.g., gRPC, Protocol Buffers) is beneficial. Experience with systems supporting collaborative code reviews, version control, continuous integration, and automated testing is preferred. Proven ability to lead projects involving multiple engineers, ensuring on-time delivery and keeping leadership informed of progress and any impediments. Knowledge of frontend frameworks (e.g., Angular, Lit, React) and client-server contract design and integrations is advantageous.
