In this role, you will drive technical vision and execute critical Android customization, from UI features to advanced graphics engines.

Android is Google’s open-source 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.

Responsibilities:

  • Lead the design and implementation of Android UI experiences for personalization and customization features.
  • Drive the development of graphics frameworks, custom shaders, and intricate animations that bring expressive motion to life across the OS.
  • Collaborate with Product and UX teams to define and deliver the future of Android's personalization capabilities.
  • Architect and build platforms and APIs to support both Pixel and OEM-specific personalization features.
  • Mentor engineers contribute to the overall technical excellence and innovation of the team.
