Here is just one of the many, many positions being advertised right now.

Graphics Engineer, Google

Location: Mountain View, California

Company Overview:

Google is not a conventional company, and we don’t intend to become one. True, we share attributes with the world’s most successful organizations – a focus on innovation and smart business practices comes to mind – but even as we continue to grow, we’re committed to retaining a small-company feel. At Google, we know that every employee has something important to say, and that every employee is integral to our success. We provide individually-tailored compensation packages that can be comprised of competitive salary, bonus, and equity components, along with the opportunity to earn further financial bonuses and rewards.

Googlers thrive in small, focused teams and high-energy environments, believe in the ability of technology to change the world, and are as passionate about their lives as they are about their work.

The area: Mobile

Making the world's information universally accessible and useful doesn't stop at the desktop.  The Mobile team builds tools to get you the information you need no matter where you are.  Our open-source Android operating system has become the world's most popular mobile ecosystem, powering hundreds of unique devices from smartphones to tablets. Whether adding to the core Android experience, forging new markets for digital content, creating immersive and portable versions of our products or managing relationships with a global community of developers, the Mobile team is giving you Google on the go.  ATAP is looking for experienced and versatile programmers to join the Google Spotlight Stories engine, team on a contract basis.

The role:

Google Spotlight Stories is our platform for delivering high quality, interactive, animated short stories to Smartphones and VR devices (from Cardboard and GearVR to Oculus Rift and HTC VIVE). Our first production, Windy Day, was directed by Jan Pinkava (co-director of Pixar's Oscar-winning film Ratatouille) and rendered its characters using a real-time implementation of OpenSubDiv, Pixar's library for subdivision surface evaluation, that we optimized for OpenGLES and OpenCL. Each new story leverages our technology to showcase the talent of leading directors, artists, and storytellers from the feature film and animation industries. Technologically, each production is akin to a distinct game, with challenging new requirements for engine subsystems, visual effects, and tools.

As an ATAP Graphics Engineer, you will work on multiple areas of engine development for upcoming stories, including implementing and optimizing rendering and animation subsystems, shaders, in-game and offline tools. You  will have a critical eye for improvements across all of our tech and process: workflow, code quality, engine stability and performance
