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.

As a Software Engineer on the System UI tooling team, you will have the opportunity to engineer developer tools for the core experiences and underlying systems of the Android OS. You will take on technical challenges in areas like instrumenting experiences, such as seamless application launching, navigation, personalization features, and the components, such as wallpapers, notifications, widgets, and shortcuts. Your work will focus on creating systems that help developers understand the behavior of their code in the field and allow them to focus on technical quality, performance, and the overall user experience. This involves working directly in core system applications and contributing to the Android framework components as well as the developer and testing infrastructure that support them.
