traces, dashboards) so teams can improve user experiences.

• Apply AI thoughtfully to engineering workflows (e.g., code review, static

analysis) for improved productivity.

• Mentor and Support Android engineers through design reviews, documentation,

and education on platform capabilities.

What we expect from you:

• 8+ years of Software development experience with at least 4+ years in
