About the job

Like Google's own ambitions, the work of a Software Engineer (SWE) goes way beyond just Search. SWE Managers have not only the technical expertise to take on and provide technical leadership to major projects, but also manage a team of engineers. You not only optimize your own code but make sure engineers are able to optimize theirs. As a SWE Manager you manage your project goals, contribute to product strategy and help develop your team. SWE teams work all across the company, in areas such as information retrieval, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, distributed computing, large-scale system design, networking, security, data compression, user interface design; the list goes on and is growing every day. Operating with scale and speed, our exceptional software engineers are just getting started -- and as a manager, you guide the way.

As a team working on systems software, we work on the foundations of Android operating system and collaborate with numerous Android teams.

In this role, you will play a key role in growing the team, developing its expertise, and having a huge impact. You will have the opportunity to leverage open source software and technology. You will be involved in the daily tasks related to ARM64, Memory Management, Virtualization, Scheduling, Storage/Filesystems , Compilers and Binary Analysis. You will be contributing to Android's updatability, security and quality. You will work with leading domain experts. You will be involved in the development of ares such as Linux kernel, device drivers, operating systems, virtualization, inter process communication, compilers, performance optimizations, Android core framework, debugging and tools for binary analysis.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.
