About the job

Passionate people are everywhere at Google. In Developer Relations, we get excited to collaborate and connect with the communities that love technology as much as we do. Part community manager and part developer advocate, Developer Relations Engineers collaborate with developers at conferences and online, and advocate for developers interests internally at Google. Not afraid to be hands-on, you write sample code and client libraries as well as participate in developer forums and support queues to troubleshoot and debug coding problems developers encounter. Internally, you work with product engineering teams to improve our products by conveying feedback from developers, reviewing API designs and testing new features. Chrome, Android, App Engine, HTML5 as well as our core Google Apps and Ads APIs are just some of the platforms you promote and support.

With your technical expertise, you drive strategy around fostering a community of developers who work with Google technologies. An ardent advocate for these developers, you represent their voice internally to our Product Managers and serve as their Google support in application development and technology implementation.

The team's mission is to build a holistic consumer cloud offering that powers helpful experiences for users. The Photos Integrations team is focused on working with first-party and third-party partners to build experiences that bring users the value of Google Photos outside of the app.

In this role, you will ensure developers have the necessary resources to be successful on Google Photos, driving long-term developer engagement and adoption, value for users, and ultimately success for Google.
