    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.

    The mission of the XR Developer team is to make it easy for developers to create rich XR apps. We ensure developers have all the tools necessary to painlessly develop XR applications; independent of the device the app runs on (glasses, headsets, phones). This work includes building (or extending) libraries/frameworks/engines/tools to improve the developer experience as well as enabling low-to-no-cost porting/compatibility of existing apps into the XR platform.

    Specifically, the XR AI Developer Solutions team enables the Android XR developer ecosystem to build rich, spatially-aware, and Gemini-connected XR application experiences using technologies like MCP, A2UI, and Android AppFunctions.

    For decades, the computing revolution has reshaped our world driven by breakthroughs in compute, connectivity, mobile, and now, AI. Google's XR team is at the forefront of the next major leap – the convergence of AI and XR. This is more than just new devices – it's about reimagining how we interact with the world around us. We're building a future where lightweight XR devices like smart glasses and headsets pair with helpful AI to augment human intelligence, offering personalized, conversational, and contextually aware experiences.Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
