## Job description

info_outline 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 work will ship on every Google-enabled Android device, delivering value for both Play’s end users and the largest game developers in the world.

You will craft experiences for gamers and game developers on Google Play, and on new upcoming products, contributing to a broad and technically challenging space. You will work closely with your PM and UX counterparts to maximize the quality and usability of the finished product. You will be joining a changing, highly-collaborative team at a pivotal moment in the Android gaming business. We aim to be an entrepreneurial team with a record of taking on high-profile projects that deliver major business impact.

Google Play offers music, movies, books, apps and games for devices, powered by the cloud. It syncs across devices and on the web. As part of the Android and Mobile team, Googlers working on Google Play do everything from engineering our backend systems, to shaping product strategy, to forming great content partnerships. They make it possible for people to do things like buy an ebook or song on their Android phone, then have it instantly available on their laptop.

The Google Play team enhances the Android ecosystem by giving developers and partners a premium store where they can reach millions of users.
