INTRODUCTION
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.
As an AI/Machine Learning Software Engineer in the team, you will play a key role in improving Chrome's agentic capabilities' quality and building Gemini in Chrome features. Additionally, you will be responsible for writing test plans and automated tests, root-causing and fixing bugs, and deploying experiments.
Chrome is dedicated to building a better, more open web. We’re focused on making a better browser (on both desktop and mobile) to help users take advantage of all the web has to offer in a safe and secure way. Chrome is available across all major platforms — iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux and Chrome OS. We also built Chrome as an open source project so the entire web ecosystem could benefit from the latest innovations in speed, simplicity and security.

Align your portfolio to Google's AI stack
Google's AI hiring favors candidates with hands-on experience in TensorFlow, JAX, or large-scale distributed training. Build public projects or research contributions that reflect these tools before applying, so your technical profile maps directly to what reviewers are screening for.
Target teams where your visa type fits
E-3 and H-1B1 holders face cap-exempt scenarios only at qualifying research institutions. At Google, cap-subject petitions follow the April lottery. Target roles posted in the second half of the calendar year if you need a change of status to align with the October 1 start date.
Get your publications and patents documented early
Google's AI org evaluates research output during the technical screen. Compile citations, conference papers, and any co-authored Google Scholar entries before your first interview round. Recruiters flag candidates with verifiable research credentials for faster progression to the hiring committee.
Clarify LCA coverage before signing your offer
Google files Labor Condition Applications with the DOL that specify your worksite location and prevailing wage. If you'll work remotely or rotate between offices, confirm the LCA covers those locations before you sign. A worksite not listed on the certified LCA creates a compliance gap.
Use Migrate Mate to find open AI roles at Google
Google posts Software Engineer AI roles across multiple product areas simultaneously, and listings can close quickly. Use Migrate Mate to filter Google's open positions by visa type so you're applying to roles where your sponsorship category is explicitly supported.

Find Software Engineer AI at Google JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Google sponsor H-1B visas for Software Engineer AIs?
Yes, Google sponsors H-1B visas for Software Engineer AI roles. The process follows the standard USCIS cap-subject lottery each April, with an October 1 start date. Google's legal team handles the I-129 petition after an offer is extended, but the lottery outcome is outside anyone's control. If you're already on an H-1B with another employer, Google can file an H-1B transfer and you can begin work once the receipt notice is issued.
How do I apply for Software Engineer AI jobs at Google?
Applications go through Google's careers portal, and the process for Software Engineer AI roles typically includes a recruiter screen, two to three technical phone interviews focused on machine learning systems and coding, and an onsite or virtual loop with the hiring committee. Visa sponsorship is discussed during the offer stage, not during early screening rounds. Browse current openings filtered by visa type on Migrate Mate to find roles where your sponsorship category is supported.
Which visa types does Google sponsor for Software Engineer AI roles?
Google sponsors H-1B, H-1B1, and E-3 visas for Software Engineer AI positions. H-1B is available to nationals of any country and goes through the annual USCIS lottery. H-1B1 is available to Chilean and Singaporean nationals and is not subject to the lottery. E-3 is exclusive to Australian citizens and also bypasses the lottery, making it a faster path for eligible candidates.
What qualifications does Google look for in Software Engineer AI candidates?
Google typically requires a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, electrical engineering, or a closely related field for H-1B specialty occupation classification. For AI-specific roles, the practical expectation is deeper: hands-on experience with large-scale model training, ML infrastructure, or applied research. Publishing peer-reviewed work or contributing to recognized open-source ML projects strengthens candidacy significantly, particularly for roles embedded in Google DeepMind or Google Research teams.
How long does the visa sponsorship process take after receiving a Google offer?
If you're outside the H-1B cap, a transfer or E-3 application can move quickly, often within four to eight weeks depending on consulate wait times or USCIS workload. Cap-subject H-1B candidates must wait for the April lottery and can't start before October 1. USCIS premium processing is available for I-129 petitions and shortens adjudication to around 15 business days, which Google can request to reduce uncertainty after a lottery selection.
