About the job

The Google Augmented Reality (AR) team is a group of developers, designers, and research scientists tasked with building the foundations for great immersive computing, and prototyping helpful, delightful user experiences.

You will bring an interest for and expertise in designing, building, and optimizing bespoke operating systems software for a line of innovative AR devices. Your skills and interests will span the entire operating systems stack: bootloaders, kernels, IPC mechanisms, device drivers, graphics, cameras and sensors, application frameworks, etc.

You will be an integral member of the team, responsible for systems software design, implementation, optimization, and ongoing maintenance and enhancements. 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.

Responsibilities

• Architect, design, and develop operating system software components designed to power Augmented Reality devices
• Write robust, reliable, efficient, and testable software designed run in environments that span bare-metal to cloud
• Communicate design and implementation decisions effectively through architecture/design documents and code
• Review code developed by other developers and provide feedback to ensure best practices (e.g., style guidelines, checking code in, accuracy, testability, and efficiency)
• Work closely with other teams on solving cross-functional problems to create compelling Augmented Reality experiences on highly-customized hardware platforms
