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.

With your extensive technical expertise you take initiative to independently

design and implement new systems, designing, implementing, and testing multiple

features with little or no direction from tech lead or manager. You collaborate

with key stakeholders to determine future direction of work.

In this role, you will

lead a specialized team of Software Engineers who operate
at the intersection of Hardware, Software, and Artificial Intelligence.
Your team’s mission is to efficiently develop innovative Pixel experiences by
leveraging the variety of sensor signals available on the device. This is a
pivotal leadership role that requires deep skills in real-time embedded software
development together with expertise in algorithms (e.g., Heuristics and AI) to
build exciting features leveraging sensor data in a power-friendly manner.
The Platforms and Devices team encompasses Google's various computing software
platforms across environments (desktop, mobile, applications), as well as our
first party devices and services that combine the best of Google AI, software,
and hardware. Teams across this area research, design, and develop new
technologies to make our user's interaction with computing faster and more
seamless, building innovative experiences for our users around the
world.Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills,
experience, and relevant education or training.
