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.
The Multiplatform team's mission is to enable our App developers to build captivating experiences while sharing code across Android, iOS, Web, and emerging surfaces. Our goal is to enhance developer productivity by minimizing duplicated code, ensuring consistency across platforms, and accelerating time to market through server-driven updates that utilize native UI toolkits. The team supports partners across Google including YouTube, Search, and Maps.
As a Software Engineer, you will be supporting the Server Driven UI (SDUI) initiative. The SDUI initiative is focused on Elements and xUIKit (rendering framework in Search that supports rich, interactive, and responsive server driven native experiences across platforms and clients). You will be working closely with our back-end team developing server-side solutions for SDUI, helping with the integration on the mobile side.
