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. Through your leadership and professional expertise, you manage a team or teams, plan project goals and lead the overall strategy for your group. As a Test Developing Manager, you will lead the XR Test Developing team. You will be responsible for ensuring the quality and timely delivery of V0 Headset and Glasses products. You will grow in a fluid environment and will be passionate about leveraging technologies, including AI, to transform testing processes. You will manage and mentor a team of talented test developers, define test strategies, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to bring innovative XR products to market. Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our Devices & 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 & Services team is making people's lives better through technology.
