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.
Mobile apps are a core part of our everyday lives. Digital advertising plays a key role in making this possible. But in order to ensure a healthy app ecosystem — benefiting users, developers, and businesses — the industry must continue to evolve how digital advertising works to improve user privacy. Third-party advertising Software Development Kits (SDKs) that run in the app process could access apps' privileges and infringe on user privacy. The SDK Runtime provides a safer way for apps to integrate with third-party advertising SDKs. We announced an initiative to build the Privacy Sandbox on Android, with the goal of introducing new, more private advertising solutions.
Android is Google’s open-source mobile operating system powering more than 3 billion devices worldwide. Android is about bringing computing to everyone in the world. We believe computing is a super power for good, enabling access to information, economic opportunity, productivity, connectivity between friends and family and more. We think everyone in the world should have access to the best computing has to offer. We provide the platform for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and developers to build compelling computing devices (smartphones, tablets, TVs, wearables, etc) that run the best apps/services for everyone in the world.
Responsibilities
- Design and build features and new capabilities for SDK Runtime.
- Align and work closely with product managers, partner technical leads and cross-team partners on goals, and proactively build relationships and allies inside and outside of the Product Area.
