About The Position

At Google, our philosophy is build it, break it and then rebuild it better. That thinking is at the core of how we approach testing at Google. Unlike roles with similar names at the other companies, Test Engineers at Google aren't manual testers -- you write scripts to automate testing and create tools so developers can test their own code. As a Test Engineer, you navigate Google's massive codebase, identify weak spots and constantly design better and creative ways to break software and identify potential problems. You'll have a huge impact on the quality of Google's growing suite of products and services. This team plays a key role in ensuring the overall software experiences and launch quality of Android and Pixel software with the practices of transforming how Android, Pixel and other Platforms and Devices (P&D) teams create, develop and launch software by leveraging the power and rapid development of AI. The team collaborates with cross-functional teams across multiple sites, including Taiwan, US, Shanghai, London, etc. Their scope encompasses infrastructure and tooling development leveraging AI-driven in-house feature testing, carrier pre-certification testing, quality analysis, and more. As a relatively young organization, this team offers abundant opportunities to develop leadership, cross-functional skills, and build innovative solutions. These skills will contribute significantly to Google's success in the highly competitive ecosystem. Android is Google’s mobile operating system powering more than 3 billion devices worldwide. Android is about bringing computing to everyone in the world. We believe computing is a super power for good, enabling access to information, economic opportunity, productivity, connectivity between friends and family and more. We think everyone in the world should have access to the best computing has to offer. We provide the platform for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and developers to build compelling computing devices (smartphones, tablets, TVs, wearables, etc) that run the best apps/services for everyone in the world. The US base salary range for this full-time position is $150,000-$218,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring process.
