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, you will have an opportunity to develop the Kotlin Multiplatform
Ecosystem. You will get the opportunity to partner with developers of many
popular Java Open Source libraries such as Guava, Truth, and Flogger to have an
impact both internally at Google and in Open Source. You will help improve the
developer experience at Google by improving the toolchain, developing libraries
and static analysis to prevent bugs before they are written, suggesting better
code patterns, and making large-scale changes to a huge codebase.
The Core team builds the technical foundation behind Google’s flagship products.
We are owners and advocates for the underlying design elements, developer
platforms, product components, and infrastructure at Google. These are the
essential building blocks for excellent, safe, and coherent experiences for our
users and drive the pace of innovation for every developer. We look across
Google’s products to build central solutions, break down technical barriers and
strengthen existing systems. As the Core team, we have a mandate and a unique
opportunity to impact important technical decisions across the company.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
* Develop and test code for KMP developer tools, libraries, and static
analysis.
* Help Google engineers build, debug, test, profile, and run their KMP code on
all supported platforms.
* Participate in and lead design reviews with peers and stakeholders to decide
amongst available technologies.
* Review code developed by other developers and provide feedback to ensure best
practices (e.g., style guidelines, checking code in, accuracy, testability,
and efficiency).
* Contribute to documentation or educational content and adapt content based on
program updates and user feedback. Triage, debug, track, and resolve issues.
