Google – Waterloo, ON, Canada
Job Description:
Software Engineers at Google are researchers and developers who yearn to create and implement complex computer science solutions.

You build strong competencies in data structures and algorithms, along with a technical fascination for how stuff fits together. You need to have a solid foundation in computer science in order to consistently come up with new ideas as well as strive for a deep understanding of our products and services in order to continually improve upon them. We focus on being a collaborative, global organization consisting of engineers with the highest levels of technical depth, programming skills and a keen eye for quality.

As a software engineer in the Engineering Productivity organization, you’ll use your software design, analysis, and programming skills to create innovative automated test systems.

The test team undertakes a broad range of challenges on a daily basis, designing and building intelligent systems that can explore various use cases and scenarios for distributed computing infrastructure. Just imagine trying to design and build an automated testing system for something that’s never been done before.
