About the jobGoogle'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.

The Ink team develops a library that transforms freehand stylus or touch input into high-quality strokes. The modern Ink library, an Android-first, modular, open-source set of Kotlin and C++ tools, addresses complex inking issues for developers. The legacy Ink library offers a cross-platform inking experience for first-party teams. Both functions like game engines, converting real-time input and complex geometric calculations into pixels quickly. They rely on high-performance C++ for core functions and Kotlin for platform-specific features. The modern Ink library has a technical and Application programming interface (API) foundation, with several internal and external clients. ChromeOS delivers quality computing at scale to provide universal and unfettered access to information, entertainment, and tools. Our mission is to empower anyone to create and access information freely through fast, secure, simple, and intelligent computing.
