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.

Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it
universally accessible and useful. Our Devices and Services team combines the best of Google AI, Software, and Hardware to create radically helpful experiences for users. We research, design, and develop new technologies and hardware to make our user's interaction with computing faster, seamless, and more powerful. Whether finding new ways to capture and sense the world around us, advancing form factors, or improving interaction methods, the Devices and Services team is making people's lives better through technology. Google Pixel Telephony and Cellular Connectivity team drive connectivity through data-informed, high-quality software development.

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.

• Manage connectivity specific metrics across stack to propose, design and develop new cellular connectivity features in android applications or in the android framework for pixel, with additional software components on the server side when needed.
• Lead development of metrics that allow the monitoring of the performances of pixel devices to validate implementations and detect issues that can potentially impact the user experience or the performance of the devices.
• Leverage advanced machine learning to automate data analysis, identify anomalies, and uncover hidden patterns.
• Benchmark pixel cellular power performance, investigate anomalies and propose and implement various performance optimizations across the stack for memory, power or bandwidth reduction.
• Own and drive improvements for connectivity topline metrics, alerts, visualizations, and data-driven insights.
