About the Job

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.

Beam is redefining the boundaries of human connection through three-dimensional video technology. By creating immersive, life-sized communication experiences, we are making the distance between people disappear. As a Software Engineer on the Beam team, you will sit at the intersection of innovative three-dimensional computer goals and the android ecosystem.

This role presents unique engineering issues that go beyond standard application development. You will be tasked with optimizing the android operating system to manage high-bandwidth, low-latency three-dimensional video streams. This involves deep-stack systems programming, custom networking configurations, and fine-tuning hardware abstraction layers to ensure a seamless, "being there" experience. You will work on the core platform that powers our hardware, ensuring that the android operating system is lean, performant, and perfectly calibrated for the future of spatial communication.

Labs is a group focused on incubating early-stage efforts in support of Google's mission to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our team exists to help discover and create new ways to advance our core products through exploration and the application of new technologies. We work to build new solutions that have the potential to transform how users interact with Google. Our goal is to drive innovation by developing new Google products and capabilities that deliver significant impact over longer timeframes.
