This position is based in Chapel Hill, NC.
The web is what you make of it, and the Chrome and Apps team is helping the world make more of the web. From open-source pros to user-experience extraordinaires, the team develops products like Chrome OS, Gmail and Google Docs that help users connect, communicate and collaborate with others. Our consumer products and Enterprise platforms are giving millions of users at homes, businesses, universities and nonprofits around the world the tools that shape their web experience -- and changing the way they think about computing.
At Google we approach testing differently -- we are testing, and breaking, code constantly, but we help rebuild it better. Software Engineers in Test (SET) design Google's testing infrastructure and write code to examine and validate large-scale software development and deployments. As an SET, you partner with software developers to create and code tests concurrently with product development. You build tools that help developers be more productive, write better code and test it themselves. Troubleshooting is an understatement, it's more like trouble-forecasting.
With your extensive technical expertise and judgement, you are an integrated part of the software development team and define, document, analyze, perform, and automate tests for products. You identify functional problems and come up with creative resolutions.
You will use the following tools for continuous improvement and maintenance: automated testing system (buildbots); exercise multiple platform types, GPU models, etc.; image-comparison tools to prevent behavioral regression; benchmarking tools to prevent performance regression; cross-platform build tools (“gyp”)
