The Google Pixel team focuses on designing and delivering the world's most helpful mobile experience. The team works on shaping the future of Pixel devices and services through some of the most advanced designs, techniques, products, and experiences in consumer electronics. This includes bringing together the best of Google’s artificial intelligence, software, and hardware to build global smartphones and create transformative experiences for users across the world.
Responsibilities
- Lead team in software planning, design and implementation of features in bootloaders, embedded firmware, or Linux kernel.
- Work in code base optimization, including in C, Rust, and Python.
