This project focuses on designing and implementing backend software improvements for Rich Communication Services (RCS) and messaging platforms. Engineers will review product requirements to independently create software designs, database schema updates, and execution plans while writing production-grade code in Java and Go for large-scale cloud environments.
Essential functions
- Design and implement feature improvements to back-end software systems that are used by Rich Communications Services (RCS) and Google Messages.
- Review Product Requirements Documents (PRD) defining desired system changes, and independently produce software designs, database schema changes, and implementation schedules meeting the requirements in the PRDs.
- Write software changes and tests in Java and Go meeting professional and Google standards that implement the specified changes.
- Write software changes and tests in Go meeting professional and Google standards that implement the specified changes.
