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.

The YouTube Commerce Platform powers all of YouTube's paid offerings, from one-time purchases to subscriptions like YouTube Music and Premium, NFL Sunday Ticket, and Primetime Channels. This platform is crucial to YouTube's strategy, generating billions in business and creating value for users, creators, and content partners.

The Applied Billing team as part of Billing and Checkout enables this growth. We build the features and experiences that allow YouTube to launch new paid products across over 100 markets. We handle billing on YouTube's own systems and external platforms, support dozens of payment methods (credit, debit, carrier billing, eWallets), and ensure seamless transactions across all devices (Android, iOS, web, living room).

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 work together to give everyone the power to share their story, explore what they love, and connect with one another in the process. Working at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and boundless creativity, we move at the speed of culture with a shared goal to show people the world. We explore new ideas, solve real problems, and have fun — and we do it all together.
