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 technical expertise you will manage project priorities, deadlines, and deliverables. You will design, develop, test, deploy, maintain, and enhance software solutions.

In this role, you will work with developers, generate insights, create guidance, write example code, author blog posts, influence engineering plans, propose product changes, discover developer stories and inspire developers.

Android is Google’s open-source 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.

Responsibilities

• Work with developers and internal stakeholders at Google to identify opportunities and land changes in tooling, libraries, and guidance that will boost productivity when building, debugging, testing, and releasing Android apps.
• Understand how the community is using Compose and other Jetpack libraries and what bottlenecks are slowing down developers’ work, elevating these issues to appropriate stakeholders and driving resolution on them.
• Collaborate with product and engineering teams to provide feedback on APIs/libraries, influence the product roadmap, and craft the most relevant narrative for how developers can maximize their return on investment when building for Android.
• Create scalable developer resources including blog posts, sample code, codelabs, and opinionated guidance on how developers can more effectively leverage Jetpack libraries to build quality apps with less time and resources.
