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.

With your technical expertise you will manage project priorities, deadlines, and deliverables. You will design, develop, test, deploy, maintain, and enhance software solutions.

The Augmented Reality (AR) Team’s mission is to give people superhuman capabilities by making computing more perceptive, immersive, and accessible. We build the user-facing experiences that give our users these superhuman abilities on phones and next-generation devices.

As a Software Engineer in AR Experiences, you'll build the full-stack AR Navigation experiences for phones and next-generation devices, including the mobile app, data pipelines, serving stack, and testing infrastructure. Working closely with other engineers across AR and Geo and in cross-functional teams (including UX, Product Management, and Program Management), you'll design, prototype, build, and launch new user experiences that help people navigate and explore the world in AR.

The Google Augmented Reality team is a diverse group of experts tasked with building the foundations for great immersive computing and building helpful, delightful user experiences. We're focused on making immersive computing accessible to billions of people through mobile devices, and our scope continues to grow and evolve.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and launch AR Navigation experiences for phones and next-generation devices.
• Build the scalable data pipelines to provide a geosemantic model of the world that can power real-time AR experiences.
• Enable robust tracking and localization of AR content on phones and devices with real-time computer vision and fusion of sensor signals.
• Work closely with UX and Product Management to define, prototype, and test experiences to discover what experiences users value the most and how to improve the experiences to provide more value to users.
