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.

In this role, your goal is that users should be able to seamlessly and effortlessly choose whatever Android device they want, without fear of losing data and precious memories when switching, even when coming from iOS. To fully realize that goal, you will have to develop robust, secure data mobility solutions, and drive app adoption across the Android ecosystem. You will strengthen user’s ability to switch platforms seamlessly and therefore drive adoption of Android.

Android is Google’s open-source 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.

Responsibilities

• Write product or system development code.


• Transition users data from iOS and help them set up and familiarize themselves with an Android device.


• Review code developed by other developers and provide feedback to ensure best practices (e.g., style guidelines, checking code in, accuracy, testability, and efficiency).


• Work on a continual road-map of improvements to this area within an established team.


• Work on centralized Android solutions which have uses across most OEMs.
