Staff Software Engineer, Watch SW Remote Compose
Overview:
In this role you will define and own a multi-year roadmap and architecture for the RemoteCompose rendering stack across Android surfaces, microcontrollers, and Web via WebAssembly. You will build platform abstractions, FFI bridges, and deterministic cross-runtime rendering while partnering with Android platform teams and product groups to scale the player. You will set code health standards, budgets for memory and performance, and mentor engineers. You will implement 2D vector rendering, morphing math, AGSL shader pipelines, and text shaping for memory-constrained hardware. This position offers impact across devices and ecosystems and a chance to shape multi-platform rendering at scale. Compensation / Benefitsbonus target (20%)equitybenefits (healthcare, etc)
