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.
Our team develops the Android Google Search App (AGSA), one of Google's biggest Android apps with over 1 Billion active users, managing nearly a third of all Google Search traffic. AGSA is the platform for key Google experiences, like Search, Gemini, Discover, Circle to Search, Lens, and more.
In Google Search, we're reimagining what it means to search for information – any way and anywhere. To do that, we need to solve complex engineering challenges and expand our infrastructure, while maintaining a universally accessible and useful experience that people around the world rely on. In joining the Search team, you'll have an opportunity to make an impact on billions of people globally.
Responsibilities
- Build a deep knowledge of the performance and system health domains applied to Android and Search, including Android platform, runtime, and code generation.
- Monitor, triage, and investigate performance-related issues and assign them to the appropriate teams.
- Help build new tools to better monitor, understand and attribute changes in overall system health of the App.
- Help partner teams evaluate the performance impact of features and infrastructure changes, in addition to building the tooling that will allow their partners to self-serve in these investigations.
- Implement and maintain instrumentation, often in collaboration with Instrumentation and Android teams.
