ABOUT THE JOB:
Google's software developers 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 software developers 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 developer, 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
software developers 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 manage project priorities, deadlines, and deliverables.
You will design, develop, test, deploy, maintain, and enhance software
solutions.
The Core team builds the technical foundation behind Google’s flagship products.
We are owners and advocates for the underlying design elements, developer
platforms, product components, and infrastructure at Google. These are the
essential building blocks for excellent, safe, and coherent experiences for our
users and drive the pace of innovation for every developer. We look across
Google’s products to build central solutions, break down technical barriers and
strengthen existing systems. As the Core team, we have a mandate and a unique
opportunity to impact important technical decisions across the company.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Write product or system development code.
- Participate in, or lead design reviews with peers and stakeholders to decide
amongst available technologies.
- Review code developed by other developers and provide feedback to ensure best
practices (e.g., style guidelines, checking code in, accuracy, testability,
and efficiency).
- Contribute to existing documentation or educational content and adapt content
based on product/program updates and user feedback.
- Triage product or system issues and debug/track/resolve by analyzing the
sources of issues and the impact on hardware, network, or service operations
and quality.
