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.

Chrome is one of the largest publicly built and tested products in the world. You'll get to do most of your work on public repositories using open-source tooling and interact with developers ranging from hobbyists to professionals in a wide variety of companies. Storage is a key component of Chrome that must be reliable and highly performant. There are many different storage APIs in Chrome, our team maintains these existing Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and seeks to improve or augment them as needs arising in the web platform. Our team also takes on high priority, high impact performance work unrelated to storage when opportunities and needs arise.
