Staff Software Engineer, Play Games, Gamer Profile

Google · Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

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.

As the core gaming identity for Google Play, the Gamer Profile is the critical connective tissue linking billions of users to the platform and the broader global gaming community.

In this role, you will directly architect and shape the end-to-end user journey on a global gaming platform of massive scale. You will collaborate closely with a cross-functional squad of Product Managers, UX Designers, TPMs, Data Scientists, and Software Engineers to design a seamless social ecosystem for players. You will architect and build highly engaging, interactive features that drive player discovery and community connection across multiple high-traffic surfaces on Google Play. You will also leverage technologies to architect a robust technical stack that ensures the stability and low latency required for high-impact, player-facing features.

As part of the Android and Mobile team, Googlers working on Google Play do everything from engineering our backend systems, to shaping product strategy, to forming great content partnerships.

The Google Play team enhances the Android ecosystem by giving developers and partners a premium store where they can reach millions of users.
