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.\nDigital Wellbeing’s mission is to empower everyone to build intentional, healthy relationships with technology.\nMobile devices are central to modern life, connecting us to information, loved ones, and essential services. However, as digital experiences become more immersive, users face growing challenges around digital distraction, cognitive overload, and compulsive engagement. Finding balance and staying present in daily life has become one of the defining consumer needs of our time.\nDigital Wellbeing on Android is positioned at the operating system level to address these challenges across hundreds of millions of active users. Building on recent innovations - such as Pause Point to encourage mindful choices - our team is pioneering proactive, privacy-preserving tools that give users genuine agency over their attention and device habits.\nAndroid is Google’s mobile operating system powering more than 3 billion devices worldwide. Android is about bringing computing to everyone in the world. We believe computing is a super power for good, enabling access to information, economic opportunity, productivity, connectivity between friends and family and more. We think everyone in the world should have access to the best computing has to offer. We provide the platform for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and developers to build compelling computing devices (smartphones, tablets, TVs, wearables, etc) that run the best apps/services for everyone in the world.\nResponsibilities\nDevelop intuitive, high-performance user experiences on a 1P app using Kotlin/Java and modern Android UI frameworks. Integrate on-device ML and generative AI solutions to deliver proactive and delight user experiences.\nTranslate complex behavioral, psychological, and human challenges into intuitive, highly robust, and privacy-preserving system-level engineering solutions.\nCollaborate deeply with global partners across UX Design, UX Research, Data Science, and Privacy. Work closely with core Android teams in the US and the Kids and Families team to deliver cohesive, platform-wide experiences.\nLead rapid prototyping, framework experiments, and technical architecture reviews during early-stage product exploration, steering ideas smoothly from concept through global ecosystem-wide launch.\nWrite clean, efficient, maintainable, and well-tested code across the stack. Participate in design reviews, code reviews, and agile development processes to maintain engineering excellence. \nQualifications\nMinimum qualifications:\nBachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.\n5 years of experience with software development in one or more programming languages (e.g. Java).\nExperience with Android development.\nPreferred qualifications:\nExperience with Google app technologies.\nPassion for the digital wellbeing mission.\nInterest in AI adoption.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3792,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Operating Systems","Streaming & OTT Platforms","Foundation Models","Consumer Internet Groups"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-01T16:41:36Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"GB","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"Licensed UK visa sponsor (Skilled Worker, Senior or Specialist Worker)","filings_12m":null,"filings_prev_12m":null,"green_card_filings_12m":null,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":"Skilled Worker; Global Business Mobility: Senior or Specialist Worker","cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-03T21:09:13+00:00","sources":["UK Home Office: register of licensed sponsors (workers)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":3,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:2","stale_co","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-05T05:45:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/google-software-engineer-android-digital-wellbeing","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/google-software-engineer-android-digital-wellbeing.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-06T02:23:16Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3608,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":1392,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-07T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":82},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=82"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fgoogle-software-engineer-android-digital-wellbeing"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fgoogle-software-engineer-android-digital-wellbeing"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fgoogle-software-engineer-android-digital-wellbeing"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/google-software-engineer-android-digital-wellbeing\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fgoogle-software-engineer-android-digital-wellbeing"}]}
