About the job

Passionate people are everywhere at Google. In Developer Relations, we are excited to collaborate and connect with the communities that love technology as much as we do. Part community manager and part developer advocate, Developer Programs Engineers collaborate with developers at conferences and online, and advocate for developers interests internally at Google. You write sample code and client libraries as well as participate in developer forums and support queues to troubleshoot and debug coding problems developers encounter. Internally, you work with product engineering teams to improve our products by conveying feedback from developers, reviewing API designs, and testing new features. Chrome, Android, App Engine, HTML5, and our core Google Workspace and Ads APIs are just some of the platforms you promote and support.

In this role, you will ensure our Web Vitals initiative meets developers' needs, and provide them with the guidance and tooling needed to measure and optimize their pages, leading to higher Core Web Vitals compliance across the web.

We help the web developer ecosystem build fast, smooth, and responsive websites that delight their users. As web developers ourselves, we represent and empathize with the needs of our ecosystem, and work with Chrome Product and Engineering teams to ensure our tooling and guidance helps them succeed.

Understand challenges for developers trying to optimize for performance, and advocate internally for their use cases by working with Product Management, Engineering, Public Relations, Marketing, Business Development, and cross-functional teams to help get developers what they need from our products.
