Mobile technology has been at the forefront of innovation, and the pace of development in this domain has never been greater. Google is committed to bringing amazing experiences to our mobile users. As a Software Engineer, Tools and Infrastructure, you will be at the heart of Google’s engineering process building software that empowers engineering teams to develop and deliver high quality mobile apps and services. We are focused on solving the hardest, most interesting challenges of developing software at scale without sacrificing stability, quality, velocity or code health.

We ensure Google's success by partnering with engineering teams and developing scalable tools and infrastructure that help engineers develop, test, debug and release software quickly. We impact thousands of Googlers and billions of users by increasing the pace of product development and ensuring our products are thoroughly tested. We are advocates for code health, testability, maintainability and best practices for development and testing.

Having access to all of Google's platforms and vast compute resources provides a unique opportunity to grow as an engineer. We typically work in small, nimble teams that collaborate on common problems across products and focus areas. As a result, the exposure to this broad set of problems provides various technical challenges as well as accelerated career growth.

Our team enables Android Developer Tools developers to ship high quality libraries and tools to app developers, through various forms of infrastructure and services. We enforce policy including API compatibility between releases, robust documentation, and non-flakey tests.
