Software Engineer, Google Cast and Device Media

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.

Cast has an exciting opportunity to grow beyond the original basic use case designed for Chromecast. Our mission is to enable users to move their video and music playback to the best possible TV or speaker around them and enjoy their media at the highest possible quality.

In this role, you will work on projects that may range from lower level (e.g., performance optimization, connectivity and networking, media codecs) to higher-level features involving new UX. You will complete a project end-to-end whether that involves build and test infrastructure, metrics and release monitoring, or improvements to documentation.

The Platforms and Ecosystems product area encompasses Google's various computing software platforms across environments (desktop, mobile, applications). The products provide enterprises, and ultimately end users, the ability to utilize and manage their services at scale. We build innovative and compelling software products—from apps to TVs, from laptops to phones—that have an impact on people’s lives across the world.
