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.

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.

In this role, you will bridge the gap between web technologies and high-performance hardware. You will lead the design and implementation of smooth, delightful, and immersive user interfaces primarily built in web technologies, while ensuring deep integration with native client services (C++/Go). You will be working across the stack from the UI layer down to system architecture on ChromeOS and Android.
