Job description

The Software Engineer role on the Voxel team focuses on optimizing GoogleSQL query execution through compiler technologies. This position involves contributing to a Core Innovation Fund project aimed at implementing Just-in-Time (JIT) compilation and hardware acceleration for GoogleSQL. The engineer will work on designing and developing a unified, hardware-agnostic compilation framework that leverages Multi-Level Intermediate Representation (MLIR). This role offers the opportunity to drive innovation in query execution to support Google's AI/ML infrastructure needs.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.
  • 2 years of experience coding in C++.
  • 2 years of experience with code optimization.
  • 2 years of experience with data structures.
  • Master's degree or PhD in Computer Science or a related technical field is preferred.
  • 2 years of experience with compilers.
  • 2 years of experience with JIT Compiler.
  • 2 years of experience with SQL and GoogleSQL.
  • 2 years of experience with open source technologies.

Responsibilities

  • Build a unified, hardware-agnostic compilation framework for GoogleSQL execution.
  • Design and implement efficient kernels for SQL operations across CPUs, GPUs, and TPUs.
  • Leverage MLIR to translate GoogleSQL into highly optimized code for heterogeneous hardware.
  • Drive query execution optimization on GPU/TPU through a hybrid approach that combines JIT compilation, vectorized execution, and accelerator offloading.
  • Conduct rigorous performance analysis and tuning of the JIT-compiled code on different hardware platforms.

Benefits

  • Employees at Google are often offered benefits like comprehensive health insurance, 401(k) matching, and flexible work arrangements, among other benefits.
