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.

The App Surfaces team is the primary front door to the Google Home ecosystem, owning the user-facing interaction canvas across Core Mobile, Smart Displays, and Cross-Surfaces.

In this role, you will lead to drive system infrastructure and manage complex reliability issues. You will play a critical role in our ongoing technical strategy, and help to lead our team to a unified Google Home Platform architecture. Your work will accelerate our feature development velocity and be tasked to help eradicate top detractor bugs.

The Google Home team focuses on hardware, software and services offerings for the home, ranging from thermostats to smart displays. The Home team researches, designs, and develops new technologies and hardware to make users' homes more helpful. Our mission is the helpful home: to create a home that cares for the people inside it and the world around it.Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.

US: $207000 - $300000 (USD) + 20% bonus target + equity + benefits

Responsibilities

• Drive the pivot towards treating application, mobile as "infrastructure and quality as a platform" to ensure consistency, scalability, and developer velocity across the organization.
• Lead dedicated engineering swarms to eliminate crashers, improve state-sync latency, and resolve functional detractors.
• Own system health by monitoring and improving crucial application performance metrics like latency, memory footprint, and crash rates, with a goal of achieving a crash-free user rate.
• Guide the architectural migration to the Google Home Platform and lead the deprecation of legacy systems. Focus on reducing bloated and legacy application infrastructure to allow teams to build and ship features faster, rather than months.
• Oversee the deployment pipeline, build/release flags, and on-call operations. Shift the organization towards automated, self-serve infrastructure delivery model to help vertical teams onboard and support major launches.
