Google Research teams collaborate closely with other teams across Google, maintaining the flexibility and versatility required to adapt new projects and foci that meet the demands of the world's fast-paced business needs. Responsibilities include participating in research to develop solutions for real-world, large-scale problems.

  • Experience with one or more general purpose programming languages (e.g., Python, Java, JavaScript, C/C++, etc.)
Good to have:
  • Currently enrolled in a full-time degree program and returning to the program after completion of the internship.
