Google Is Coming Strong: Tech Giant Announces New Engineering Center in Brazil and Opens Various Job Opportunities
In February, Google announced the launch of a new Engineering Center within the IPT Open initiative, a partnership with the Institute of Technological Research (IPT), in São Paulo. The project, which involves transforming a historic building of the IPT, the Adriano Marchini Building, is progressing and aims to create an innovative environment where Google engineers will work on developing technological solutions for widely used tools like Gmail, Search, Maps, and YouTube. The expectation is that the space will be completed by 2026, providing a modern environment while preserving the rich architectural history of the building.
The restoration of the building, originally constructed in 1940, is a significant milestone in this partnership. In addition to maintaining its preserved external features, the building will undergo a series of internal adaptations to provide a more modern and efficient environment for people who want to work at Google.
Google has already delivered a library and a makerspace as part of the return, which have been moved to other buildings. These spaces are being inaugurated today, marking yet another completed step in the revitalization of the site.

Focusing on environmental preservation, all renovations are being planned to have the least possible impact on the environment. The new Google Engineering Center will be part of a global network of safety centers, known as Google Safety Engineering Centers (GSEC), that already exist in cities such as Munich, Malaga, and Dublin. These centers are dedicated to addressing online safety challenges and protecting user privacy around the world, making the internet a safer space.
Innovations in Security and Privacy
The GSEC in São Paulo will play a key role in developing solutions focused on cybersecurity and data protection.
The presence of this center in Brazil will bring a series of collaboration opportunities between local authorities, companies, and academics, creating an innovation ecosystem that will contribute to the development of advanced technologies.
The goal is to address emerging issues related to privacy, security, and online protection, aligning with Google’s long-term commitment to digital security.
Accessibility Center: Inclusion as a Priority
Another major highlight of the new Engineering Center is the establishment of the first Accessibility Discovery Center (ADC) in Latin America. This space will be dedicated to creating and promoting technologies that make the digital world more accessible for people with disabilities. Google already has similar structures in cities like London, Dublin, and Zurich, and the arrival of this center in São Paulo is an important step towards advancing technological inclusion in Brazil.
The ADC will operate as a collaborative laboratory, where people with disabilities can participate in product development, providing feedback and helping to shape solutions that better meet their needs. Additionally, education and training programs for developers and researchers will be offered, focused on accessible design and best practices for digital inclusion.
This space will also feature an experimentation environment, where users can test new tools and technologies, providing valuable insights for continuous improvements. This initiative reinforces Google’s commitment to the mission of making information universally accessible, promoting digital inclusion, and improving the lives of millions of people.
Expansion and Opportunities in Brazil for Those Who Want to Work at Google
In collaboration with the teams based at the Engineering Center in Belo Horizonte, the first of its kind in Latin America, the engineering office in São Paulo will be multidisciplinary. This means that Google will have teams with specialists in areas such as artificial intelligence, software engineering, product management, projects, UX, design, business management, cybersecurity, and data.
Although the new Engineering Center is scheduled to open in 2026, the company is already hiring talent. Want to work at Google? Check the available opportunities on our careers page (goo.gle/vagasBR).
The launch of the new engineering center in São Paulo marks a crucial step in the expansion of Google’s operations in Brazil and reflects a significant investment by the company in the country.
