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.

As a part of the AR Glasses team, you will be building glasses that provide all-day helpfulness in use cases like translation, navigation, photography and AI assistance. In this role, you will be a part of the SonicXP team (go/sonicxp-charter) and will be responsible for several key features including translation, the media player, and the phone call experience on glasses. Your mission is to empower users with delightful glasses experiences that amplify the power of speech and sound.

You will be responsible for delivering great translation experiences for both Android and iOS users of XR glasses, as this role is for a mobile developer with experience in either iOS or Android (or both). You will likely contribute to both platforms over time.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.
