About the job

At Google, our philosophy is build it, break it and then rebuild it better. That thinking is at the core of how we approach testing at Google. Unlike roles with similar names at the other companies, Test Engineers at Google aren't manual testers -- you write scripts to automate testing and create tools so developers can test their own code. As a Test Engineer, you navigate Google's massive codebase, identify weak spots and constantly design better and creative ways to break software and identify potential problems. You'll have a huge impact on the quality of Google's growing suite of products and services.

We create a home that takes care of the people inside it and the world around it. Our mission is to ship software and products with a high velocity through Artificial Intelligence (AI), infrastructure and tooling, engineering excellence and efficient quality processes and metrics. We enable ease, speed of development and deliver quality for the Home Experiences and Google products by building tooling, scalable infrastructure and driving quality insights into the development process.

Our team pushes the limits of automation infrastructure, data metrics and developer tooling to drive quality across devices, services, and apps. We work with multiple development teams across different regional offices (e.g. Mountain View, Bangalore, Taipei). Join us to help our users to build better, more helpful homes.

The Google Home team focuses on hardware, software and services offerings for the home, ranging from thermostats to smart displays. The Home team researches, designs, and develops new technologies and hardware to make users’ homes more helpful. Our mission is the helpful home: to create a home that cares for the people inside it and the world around it.

The US base salary range for this full-time position is $122,000-$174,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring process.

• Improve existing test infrastructure or create new test infrastructure to increase efficiency and productivity in test case development, scheduling, or deployment.
• Participate in product design review with product managers, software/hardware engineers, and other stakeholders to contribute to product design, testability, and implementation.
