Job Description

Google is seeking a Senior Test Engineer to join their Core team, which is responsible for building the technical foundation behind Google's flagship products. Unlike traditional testing roles, this position focuses on automated testing and tool development rather than manual testing. The role involves navigating Google's massive codebase, identifying weak spots, and designing creative ways to test software effectively.

As a Senior Test Engineer, you'll be responsible for developing automation tools, leading test planning and reviews, and working closely with various stakeholders to ensure product quality. The Core team has a unique opportunity to impact technical decisions across the company, as they build central solutions and strengthen existing systems.

The ideal candidate will have strong coding skills, experience in test automation, and the ability to lead technical projects. You'll work in a collaborative environment, participating in product design reviews and contributing to product testability and implementation. This role offers the opportunity to work on critical infrastructure that powers Google's most important products while having a significant impact on product quality and user experience.

The position comes with a competitive compensation package including base salary, bonus, equity, and comprehensive benefits. Google offers a supportive work environment and is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. The role can be based in several locations including Kirkland, WA, Mountain View, CA, or San Jose, CA, providing flexibility for qualified candidates.
