As a Software Engineer of the hardware core team, you will drive the integration of the software stack over Google’s CPU. You will be the driver and focal point for the Hardware-Software integration - working with software teams to support the transformation to the new architecture, from lowest level of secured firmware, boot, and Linux kernel, all the way up to machine-optimized C++ libraries and with the HW team on architecture & implementation. The server class architecture is still evolving and you will coordinate new features implementation on Hardware and Software sides.

Google is an engineering company at heart. We hire people with a broad set of technical skills who are ready to take on some of technology's greatest challenges and make an impact on users around the world. At Google, engineers not only revolutionize search, they routinely work on scalability and storage solutions, large-scale applications and entirely new platforms for developers around the world.
