Full Job Posting

Responsibilities

  • Drive the pivot towards treating application, mobile as "infrastructure and quality as a platform" to ensure consistency, scalability, and developer velocity across the organization.
  • Lead dedicated engineering swarms to eliminate crashers, improve state-sync latency, and resolve functional detractors.
  • Own system health by monitoring and improving crucial application performance metrics like latency, memory footprint, and crash rates, with a goal of achieving a crash-free user rate.
  • Guide the architectural migration to the Google Home Platform and lead the deprecation of legacy systems. Focus on reducing bloated and legacy application infrastructure to allow teams to build and ship features faster, rather than months.
  • Oversee the deployment pipeline, build/release flags, and on-call operations. Shift the organization towards automated, self-serve infrastructure delivery model to help vertical teams onboard and support major launches.

Minimum qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.
  • 8 years of experience in software development.
  • 5 years of experience testing and launching software products with a focus on android systems or android architecture.
  • 5 years of experience with full stack development, across back-end such as Java, Python, Golang, or C++ codebases, and front-end experience including JavaScript or TypeScript, HTML, CSS or equivalent.
  • 3 years of experience with software design and architecture.

Preferred qualifications:

  • Master’s degree or PhD in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
  • Experience serving as a technical lead and architect, setting architectural direction, and mentoring senior engineers across multiple work streams.
  • Experience managing complex system health issues, app reliability, and large-scale technical migrations.
  • Experience implementing automated regression testing to replace manual testing efforts.
  • Strong product sense with a passion for smart home technologies, IoT (Matter, Thread, BLE), and improving user satisfaction (CSAT).
  • Proven track record of driving cross-functional initiatives and improving engineering velocity through infrastructure automation.
