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 manage information at a 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.
As a part of Google’s Quantum AI team, you will build and run algorithms on today’s world leading quantum computers. As these machines grow from research prototypes into products, the software that orchestrates and executes quantum computations will need to transition into a form that more closely resembles traditional software products.
In this role, you will design and build the systems for packaging, deploying, and releasing core quantum software packages for the new quantum software product. You will work with the research, product, and software teams on the Quantum AI team.
Much of this work is greenfield, representing an opportunity for high-impact. The full potential of quantum computing will be unlocked with a large-scale computer capable of error-corrected computations. Google Quantum AI's mission is to build this computer and unlock solutions to classically intractable problems. Our roadmap is focused on advancing the capabilities of quantum computing and enabling meaningful applications.
The US base salary range for this full-time position is $147,000-$211,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring process.
Please note that the compensation details listed in US role postings reflect the base salary only, and do not include bonus, equity, or benefits. Learn more about benefits at Google.
Responsibilities

- Write and review code to ensure best practices are met, contributing to data preparation, optimization, and performance enhancements confirming all aspects of technical work are high-quality.
- Incorporate feedback on designs to determine when to enhance existing systems or build new systems, and contribute to existing documentation or educational content.
- Collaborate with research groups and cross-functional teams, including hardware engineers, electronic engineers, or research scientists.
Minimum qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.
- 3 years of software development experience or 1 year with an advanced degree.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Product Software Engineer Jobs at Google Jobs
Align your portfolio to Google's product areas
Google's Product Software Engineer interviews emphasize systems thinking and user impact. Frame past projects around metrics, scale, and product outcomes, not just technical implementation. Hiring teams want engineers who move products, not just code.
Target Google's teams with consistent international hiring
Search DOL's OFLC disclosure data to identify which Google divisions file Labor Condition Applications for Product Software Engineer roles most frequently. Focusing your applications on those teams improves your odds of landing with a hiring manager familiar with the sponsorship process.
Start your job search on Migrate Mate
Browse Product Software Engineer openings at Google filtered by visa type on Migrate Mate. It surfaces roles where sponsorship is confirmed, so you spend time applying to positions where your work authorization situation is already accounted for.
Prepare for the H-1B cap timeline if you need it
If you require H-1B sponsorship, USCIS registration opens in March for an October 1 start date. Time your Google interview process so any offer lands well before the registration window. Offers made after the deadline mean waiting a full year for the next cap cycle.
Get your LCA certified before the visa clock starts
Google's immigration team files a Labor Condition Application with the DOL before petitioning USCIS. Understand that your employment cannot start until the LCA is certified and the I-129 is approved or you have E-3 stamp in hand. Build this lag into your start date negotiation.

Find Product Software Engineer at Google JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Google sponsor H-1B visas for Product Software Engineers?
Yes, Google sponsors H-1B visas for Product Software Engineer roles. The company participates in the annual H-1B cap registration process each March. If you're selected in the lottery, USCIS adjudicates the petition for an October 1 start date. Google also sponsors H-1B1 visas for Chilean and Singaporean nationals and E-3 visas for Australian citizens, both of which bypass the lottery entirely.
How do I apply for Product Software Engineer jobs at Google?
Apply directly through Google's careers portal or browse open Product Software Engineer roles filtered by visa sponsorship on Migrate Mate. Google's hiring process for this role typically involves a recruiter screen, two to three technical rounds covering data structures, algorithms, and system design, and a product sense interview assessing how you think about user problems. Tailoring your resume to emphasize product impact alongside technical depth improves your chances of advancing.
Which visa types does Google commonly use for Product Software Engineer roles?
Google most commonly uses the H-1B for Product Software Engineers in this function, but it also sponsors the E-3 for Australian citizens and the H-1B1 for Chilean and Singaporean nationals. If you qualify for E-3 or H-1B1, those pathways are worth pursuing actively since neither is subject to the annual H-1B lottery cap, which makes offer and start date timelines far more predictable.
What qualifications does Google expect for Product Software Engineer roles?
Google expects a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, software engineering, or a closely related field for Product Software Engineer positions. Beyond academic credentials, the interview process weights problem-solving ability, system design at scale, and product thinking. Candidates who can articulate how their technical decisions affected user outcomes or business metrics tend to perform better in the product-specific rounds than those focused purely on algorithmic performance.
How long does the visa sponsorship process take after a Google offer?
Timeline depends on the visa type. For H-1B, Google must file after the lottery selection, and employment cannot begin before October 1 of that cap year. For E-3, Google files the Labor Condition Application with the DOL first, and then you attend a consular interview in Australia, a process that can move in four to eight weeks if appointment slots are available. Premium processing, where applicable, can accelerate USCIS adjudication to roughly two to three weeks.
