At Google, our philosophy is build it, break it and then rebuild it better. That thinking is at the core of how we approach testing at Google. Unlike roles with similar names at the other companies, Software Test Engineers at Google aren't manual testers; they write scripts to automate testing, create test designs and tools so developers can test their own code. Senior Software Test Engineers at Google develop the product excellence strategy by integrating feedback from other engineers and product managers, identifying gaps, risk areas, and inefficiencies, and developing the roadmap for product excellence. You’ll be integral in developing the test plans and promoting the adoption of new or enhancing the existing test frameworks across multiple areas, products, or features. You'll have a huge impact on the quality of Google's growing suite of products and services.

Google is an engineering company at heart. We hire people with a broad set of technical skills who are ready to take on some of technology's greatest challenges and make an impact on users around the world. At Google, engineers not only revolutionize search, they routinely work on scalability and storage solutions, large-scale applications and entirely new platforms for developers around the world. From Google Ads to Chrome, Android to YouTube, social to local, Google engineers are changing the world one technological achievement after another.
