understand your world and help you grow in it. By bringing Gemini's magic to
devices that understand context, we will deliver experiences that make life
easier, safer, and ultimately more human.

In this role, you will define, build, and ship foundational capabilities that
power devices at the frontier of computing and AI. You will play a critical role
in shaping and building 0 to 1 products, influencing how users in the future
will connect with information, ideas and one another.

The Platforms and Devices team encompasses Google's various computing software
platforms across environments (desktop, mobile, applications), as well as our
first party devices and services that combine the best of Google AI, software,
and hardware. Teams across this area research, design, and develop new
technologies to make our user's interaction with computing faster and more
seamless, building innovative experiences for our users around the world.
