Web Solutions Engineer, Technology and Insights Partnership Systems, YouTube

Google's Web Solutions Engineers (WSE) innovate and develop software-based solutions for complex business problems. As an L4 Web Solutions Engineer on the YouTube BizTech team, you are an entrepreneurial full-stack engineer tasked with shaping the future of YouTube’s business systems, working with minimal guidance to deliver flawless, scalable solutions. We are looking for someone passionate about integrating next-generation AI (Large Language Models (LLMs), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), Agentic workflows) into daily operations, modernizing legacy enterprise middleware, and driving data consolidation. You will bridge the gap between intuitive front-end user experiences and highly complex back-end data pipelines. With an understanding of web architecture and system design, you will manage ambiguous technical challenges, manage edge cases effectively, and collaborate closely with technical stakeholders (product, UX, data, and operations). In this role, you will develop project plans and scalable solutions that have an immediate, obvious impact on YouTube's global partner ecosystem.

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 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.

Responsibilities:

• Design, build, and deploy highly scalable AI applications using the Google Cloud AI stack (Vertex AI, Cloud Functions, Agent Development Kits) to solve complex business operations and partner management challenges.
• Develop autonomous, multi-agent systems and robust RAG architectures that securely integrate internal knowledge bases and enterprise data silos with large language models, demonstrating an understanding of vector embeddings, context windows, and semantic search.
• Integrate AI backend services (via APIs and Cloud Functions) with intuitive frontend web applications (using TypeScript/Angular/Lit) to provide insights and automated workflows to end-users.
• Develop project plans and deliver AI-focused projects on time, within budget, and in scope with minimal guidance. Identify opportunities where generative AI can eliminate operational friction or technical debt.
• Write and review complex technical design documents focused on AI system architecture.

Minimum qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Math or a related quantitative field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 4 years of experience in software development and system design, utilizing Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, and SQL.
• Experience with frontend languages (e.g., JavaScript or TypeScript).
• Experience with backend languages (e.g., Java, Python, or C++).
• Experience working with database technologies (e.g. SQL, NoSQL).

Preferred qualifications:

• 4 years of experience designing and optimizing databases.
• Experience building and deploying machine learning models, LLM applications, or Generative AI solutions using public cloud infrastructure (e.g., Google Cloud Platform).
• Experience writing and reviewing technical documents, including design, development, and revision documents, and performing code reviews in compiled or scripted languages.
• Experience building and scaling full-stack web applications and backend API services.
