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.

From rounding up OpenGL and Vulkan APIs to improving our window compositing system and supporting leading-edge display technology, we want to provide the most compelling visual experience for our users. We are also focused on minimizing jank and power consumption, and resolving driver bugs through innovative testing efforts.
Our goal is not only to keep these systems great, but to continuously improve upon them as they are foundational to a great Android experience. In this role, you will be a technical lead (i.e. Staff Software Engineer) to take on exciting and compelling challenges that the team is facing.
