Senior Software Engineer, Remote Compose Wear OS

Overview

Join the Remote Compose team to build a cross-platform UI engine for Wear OS and Android devices. You will craft high-performance Rust solutions for resource-constrained wearables and optimize embedded operations. Design and benchmark rendering, shaders, and curved text shaping for low-power MCUs. Maintain small-footprint libraries and manage display offload lifecycles, enabling end-to-end, cross-device UI experiences. This role offers impact in shaping wearable UI at scale and collaborating across Google teams.

Responsibilities

• Build and optimize cross-platform runtimes for Android, MCUs, and web to ensure visual consistency and protocol conformance
• Develop Rust-based solutions optimized for resource-constrained wearables
• Design, implement, and benchmark embedded Rust operations to reduce binary size, memory, and overhead
• Implement 2D vector rendering, path morphing, AGSL shaders, and curved text shaping for memory-constrained co-processors
• Develop and maintain libraries for small-footprint operations on wearable MCUs and constrained systems
• Manage display offload lifecycles, bind state variables, and optimize offload/deoffload latency
• Create automated screenshot/golden tests, fuzz testing, and debugging tools
• Collaborate with cross-site teams to deliver end-to-end Remote Compose solutions for Google and the Android community

Key requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or related field; or equivalent practical experience
• 5 years of experience with 2D graphics, rendering pipelines, UI toolkits, or embedded systems programming
• Experience in Rust or modern embedded C++

• collaborative
• strong communication
• problem-solving
• Rust
• embedded C++
• ARM Cortex-M or similar MCUs
