About the job

Google's software engineers develop next-generation technologies that change how billions of users connect, explore, and interact with information and one another. Our products handle information at massive scale and extend beyond web search. We seek engineers with fresh ideas from all areas, including information retrieval, distributed computing, large-scale system design, networking, data storage, security, AI, natural language processing, UI design, and mobile development. As a software engineer, you will work on critical projects with opportunities to switch teams and projects as our business evolves. We value versatility, leadership qualities, and enthusiasm for tackling new problems across the full tech stack.

With your technical expertise, you will manage project priorities, deadlines, and deliverables. You will design, develop, test, deploy, maintain, and enhance software solutions.

Our team's mission is to protect users from Android malware. Since Android users can install apps from sources beyond the Play Store, our team analyzes previously unseen apps to prevent harmful installations, primarily on the device itself to protect user privacy.

The Platforms and Devices team encompasses Google's software platforms across environments (desktop, mobile, applications), as well as our devices and services that integrate Google AI, software, and hardware. We research, design, and develop new technologies to make user interactions faster and more seamless, creating innovative experiences worldwide.
