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.

The Android Platinum team is dedicated to enhancing the quality of Android releases by establishing and executing critical testing operation on essential devices. The primary mission of Platinum is to implement and maintain a standard for the Android baseline release quality. Furthermore, the team provides Android Engineers with a framework designed to execute critical tests for Critical User Journeys (CUJs). This initiative ensures that builds failing these essential tests are prevented from proceeding to subsequent release phases. Focusing on automation and the development of autonomous agents, the team seeks to significantly improve the efficiency of high-speed critical testing operations and the overall productivity of Android feature development across various form factors.

Android is Google’s 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.
