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.

In this role, you will work at the center of an organization-wide initiative, collaborating with multiple teams to deliver new kernels and OS releases across platforms, upstream custom patches and reduce divergence and detect regressions, respond to feedback, debug and fix user-facing crashes and problems with new kernel releases, and even run kernel experiments live in the field. You will operate at all levels of the system stack, from the kernel, driver and system services to Chrome browser and other components.

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.

Responsibilities

Develop and release new versions of ChromeOS.
Deliver new kernel releases for mature platforms and devices.
Work with Linux to upstream features, fix bugs and crashes, and prevent regressions.
Develop and maintain infrastructure to enable and accelerate kernel rebase and upgrade projects and maintain release quality and user experience by addressing stability, performance and compatibility issues.
Collaborate with other platform teams to triage and resolve issues and address security issues to ensure user data remains secure and threats are mitigated.
