About the job
At Google, our philosophy is build it, break it and then rebuild it better. That thinking is at the core of how we approach testing at Google. Unlike roles with similar names at the other companies, Test Engineers at Google aren't manual testers - you write scripts to automate testing and create tools so developers can test their own code. As a Test Engineer, you navigate Google's massive codebase, identify weak spots and constantly design better and creative ways to break software and identify potential problems. You'll have a huge impact on the quality of Google's growing suite of products and services.
We are responsible for delivering the highest quality build and release solutions for Pixel devices. We collaborate with Pixel Software, Android, and other PDPA device software teams to identify the build and release process and infrastructure issues, and deliver infrastructure solutions to drive quality across Pixel devices. We are looking for software engineers passionate about developing well-architected, innovative, and elegant software tools and services. Join us to build infrastructure on a variety of frameworks to enable high quality experiences for end-users and developers.
The Platforms and Devices team encompasses Google's various computing software platforms across environments (desktop, mobile, applications), as well as our first party devices and services that combine the best of Google AI, software, and hardware. Teams across this area research, design, and develop new technologies to make our user's interaction with computing faster and more seamless, building innovative experiences for our users around the world.
