Join to apply for the Senior Software Engineer, Audio, Google Beam role at Google

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 5 years of experience with software development in C++.
• 3 years of experience testing, maintaining, or launching software products, and 1 year of experience with software design and architecture.
• Experience with real‑time audio subsystem design, implementation, or validation.
• Experience working with embedded systems or low-level software development (e.g., OS, drivers, firmware).

• Master's degree or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Acoustics, or related technical field.
• 5 years of experience with digital signal processing (DSP) algorithm design (e.g., 3D spatialized audio, reverberation/noise mitigation, acoustic echo cancellation).
• 1 year of experience in a technical leadership role, driving audio roadmaps or hardware selection in the presence of ambiguity.
• Experience with embedded platforms (ARM, DSP), including build tool chains, hardware I/O, control, and low-level software development (embedded Linux, audio drivers).
• Experience developing accessible technologies, human‑centric communication tools, or applying psychoacoustics (hearing science) to product design.
• Experience with data structures and algorithms.

• Develop and test product or system development code, specifically designing low‑latency C++ algorithms for real‑time audio subsystems on embedded platforms.
• Lead or participate in design reviews to drive architectural decisions for audio pipelines, influencing the selection of next‑generation DSPs, ARM processors, and acoustic hardware components.
• Review code developed by other developers to ensure strict adherence to real‑time performance constraints, memory optimization in embedded Linux environments, and signal processing accuracy.
• Contribute to existing documentation by defining audio‑specific integration guides and "Audio Ops" playbooks, and adapt content based on new psychoacoustic research or hearing science principles.
• Triage product or system issues and resolve acoustic artifacts (echo, noise, sync issues), utilizing acoustic measurements to analyze the interaction between software algorithms and hardware limitations.
