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.

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join our mission in building next-generation, AI-powered infrastructure supporting Continuous Integration (CI) systems for Android, Chrome, and ChromeOS. You will shape the foundation of the developer experience by designing, implementing, and deploying scalable and reliable systems capable of handling the massive build and test loads required by these major platforms. In the agentic coding era, your work to build and deploy an uncompromising CI system that will be a foundational requirement to meet our business goals. You will have an unique opportunity to be a founding member of a growing CI Center of Excellence in Tokyo, where you will establish a collaboration model with our global counterparts.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement the next generation of Android's foundational CI services, and build common infrastructure components that harmonize the build, test, and release workflows across Android, Chrome, and ChromeOS.
• Identify and eliminate bottlenecks in the developer inner and outer loops that allow teams to move from code-complete to production safely.
• Contribute to the design and implementation of AI-powered solutions, leveraging Agentic AI to streamline operational workflows and enhance system reliability.
• Mentor engineers, drive design reviews, and partner closely with global product teams and infrastructure leadership to ensure seamless integration and alignment across multiple regions.
• Maintain focus on the scalability and availability of infrastructure by implementing advanced monitoring and performance tuning. Ensure that CI/CD pipelines adhere to the supply chain security standards, protecting the integrity of the build and release artifacts for billions of users.
