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.The Google Augmented Reality Team’s mission is to give people abilities by making information instantly and intuitively accessible. The Calibration and Spatial Sensing team is responsible for the technology that enables devices to track and understand their surroundings using on-board sensors in real-time for the AR ecosystem and Alphabet-wide applications. We work in the research-to-product space, going 0-to-1 on foundational visual-inertial fusion for odometry, localization, mapping, along with calibration, image processing for tracking, and novel applications of machine learning at the intersection of investigative and data-driven modeling. Furthermore, working alongside a group of perception researchers and engineers, we push the boundaries of how these technologies can support AR experiences, driving ideation and development cross-functionally to chart the future capabilities needed by our AR devices.Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our Devices and Services team combines the best of Google AI, Software, and Hardware to create radically helpful experiences for users. We research, design, and develop new technologies and hardware to make our user's interaction with computing faster, seamless, and more powerful. Whether finding new ways to capture and sense the world around us, advancing form factors, or improving interaction methods, the Devices and Services team is making people's lives better through technology.
