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.

At Pixel we are developing innovative hardware products that push the boundaries of computing.

As an Audio Systems Lead, you will drive new products to launch by architecting audio systems, implementing key components, and designing sub-components for delegation. You will lead overall development of the audio platform, collaborating with operating system (OS)-level engineers to enable next-generation experiences and SoC partners to deliver hardware abstraction layer (HAL) implementations, debug, and root-cause issues. You will ultimately be responsible for delivering the audio platform to enable new device launches.

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.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
