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. As the heart of the Platform and Devices Engineering Infrastructure and Operations (PDEIO) team, our mission is to empower internal developers and external partners across the ecosystem to build exceptional products. We are on the front lines of innovation, leveraging AI to architect stable and effective test solutions—including the critical infrastructure, labs, testing tools and frameworks necessary to ensure the successful launches. Our comprehensive offerings span pre-submit and post-submit pipelines, release infrastructure, tooling and execution, test scheduling, reporting, and high-touch lab support for core components like Connectivity, Interactive, Firmware and Bases OS. By addressing these complex issues, we directly drive the velocity, stability, and uncompromising quality of the broader Android ecosystem for years to come. Android is Google’s mobile operating system powering more than 3 billion devices worldwide. Android is about bringing computing to everyone in the world. We believe computing is a super power for good, enabling access to information, economic opportunity, productivity, connectivity between friends and family and more. We think everyone in the world should have access to the best computing has to offer. We provide the platform for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and developers to build compelling computing devices (smartphones, tablets, TVs, wearables, etc) that run the best apps/services for everyone in the world. Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. US: $147000 - $210000 (USD) + 15% bonus target + equity + benefits
