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 Pixel Stability team ensures that every Pixel device delivers a smooth, dependable experience across its entire lifecycle. Operating directly at the intersection of hardware, kernel, and user space, the team defines stability benchmarks, creates automated triage and testing infrastructure, and address complex crashes, kernel panics, and regressions across the fleet., * Write and test product or system development code, including low-level kernel/driver patches, on-device diagnostics, and automated stability triage tools for Pixel devices. * Participate in, or lead design reviews with peers and stakeholders to decide amongst available technologies, stability test harnesses, and system monitoring infrastructure. * Review code developed by other developers and provide feedback to ensure best practices (e.g., style guidelines, checking code in, accuracy, testability, and efficiency). * Contribute to existing documentation or educational content and adapt content based on product/program updates, user feedback, and cross-functional triage playbooks. * Triage product or system issues and debug/track/resolve by analyzing the sources of issues (e.g., kernel panics, deadlocks) and the impact on hardware, network, or service operations and quality. ## Related Videos - [For the Cars and the Curious: Android Drift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/499-for-the-cars-and-the-curious-android-drift) - [An Applied Introduction to eBPF with Go](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1075-an-applied-introduction-to-ebpf-with-go) - [Are Code Reviews Worth It?
