Software Engineer III, Chrome Tooling

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.

Tooling support is often a deciding factor to the success of a software ecosystem, and the Web Platform is no different. With Chrome DevTools, Lighthouse, ChromeDriver and Puppeteer, we offer some of the most popular tools to debug, inspect, and automate the Web Platform. We continue to invest heavily into our tooling capabilities to retain their revered status.

Applying GenAI to Web development has been one of the most disruptive innovations in recent years, boosting developers' effectiveness and productivity. Chrome DevTools is well-positioned to tap into AI's enormous potential, so that Web developers can focus on the creative part of producing high quality Web content.

Chrome is dedicated to building a better, more open web. We’re focused on making a better browser (on both desktop and mobile) to help users take advantage of all the web has to offer in a safe and secure way.Chrome is available across all major platforms — iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux and Chrome OS. We also built Chrome as an open source project so the entire web ecosystem could benefit from the latest innovations in speed, simplicity and security.
