Job Description

YouTube is seeking a talented Software Engineer to join their Creator Tag Monetization team within YouTube Shopping Creator. This role sits at the intersection of technology and creativity, working on systems that empower content creators while advancing YouTube's commerce capabilities.

The position requires a skilled full-stack developer with 5 years of experience who can architect and lead the development of large-scale systems. You'll be working with cutting-edge technologies, integrating YouTube's core platform with commerce and AI solutions. The role involves not just coding, but also technical leadership - you'll be expected to guide junior engineers, drive technical consensus, and communicate effectively with executive leadership.

As part of the YouTube Shopping Creator team, you'll be directly impacting how creators monetize their content through innovative shopping features. You'll work with modern web frameworks like Polymer/Lit using TypeScript, and potentially extend to mobile platforms. The role offers the opportunity to shape the technical roadmap of YouTube's creator tools while collaborating with cross-functional teams including Product, UX, and Research.

The ideal candidate should have experience with large-scale B2C or e-commerce products, strong system design skills, and the ability to manage technical debt effectively. Knowledge of the YouTube or Google Commerce technology stack is a plus. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to combine technical expertise with business impact, working on products that affect billions of users worldwide.

Working at YouTube means being part of a culture that believes in giving everyone a voice and making the world better through shared stories and community building. The team moves at the speed of culture, combining cutting-edge technology with creative freedom to solve real problems that impact creators and viewers globally.
