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.
Looker is at the forefront of AI-driven Business Intelligence, and the Modeling team is key to this goal. We're building the next generation of data modeling experiences atop Looker's semantic layer (LookML). We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join a newly formed team dedicated to an exciting new initiative: the LookML Coding Agent.
In this role, you will pioneer an AI agent capable of understanding user's inputs to auto-generate LookML code, which involves solving challenges in multi-turn code generation, building conversational AI to gather context, integrating with data ecosystem, and designing for future extensibility for natively integrating into AI-powered IDE. You will make Looker's semantic modeling more intuitive, powerful, and AI-native, profoundly impacting how our customers derive insights from their data.
