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.

We are building a helpful in-car mapping experience and bringing it to every car. We do this through tight car integration (e.g., sensors, controls, screens), optimized in-car UI, and maintaining low driver distraction.

In this role, you will contribute to our goal to proactively keep the driver aware of factors in the world around them that could disrupt their drive—like an object on the road, or upcoming traffic. We do this by discovering what might be useful, and working with team members to bring those ideas to reality. We also aim to create and maintain a smooth, responsive, and stable user experience. This includes digging into performance problems and solving crashes, as well as building towards a better overall performing system.

Google is an engineering company at heart. We hire people with a broad set of technical skills who are ready to take on some of technology's greatest challenges and make an impact on users around the world. At Google, engineers not only revolutionize search, they routinely work on scalability and storage solutions, large-scale applications and entirely new platforms for developers around the world. From Google Ads to Chrome, Android to YouTube, social to local, Google engineers are changing the world one technological achievement after another.

Responsibilities

  • Building quality features that enhance the user’s in-car experience.
  • Collaborate with product and user design experts, in addition to more executive engineers.
  • Investigate and resolve performance problems, profile and debug crashes.
  • Utilize Generative AI tools to optimize development velocity.
Google is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and is an affirmative action employer. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity or Veteran status.
