Why we read it this way (8)
The posting lists multiple possible work locations: Kirkland WA, Mountain View CA, New York NY, Seattle WA, San Francisco CA, and Los Angeles CA. The primary CBSA is reported as Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue (Kirkland/Seattle), but the role is multi-site.
Google frames this as a 'Mid' role in its internal leveling language, but the requirements — 5 years of technical experience, 5 years of troubleshooting, 2 years of XR ecosystem experience, plus cross-functional leadership and external partner ownership — support a Senior classification.
The degree requirement accepts 'equivalent practical experience,' so no minimum degree is hard-gated.
Code-reading experience (Java, C++, or Python) is listed as a required qualification with 'or' framing; Java is used as the primary name with C++ and Python as alternatives.
XR development tools (RenderDoc, Perfetto, Frame Pacing API, SurfaceFlinger, GFXReconstruct, Android GPU Inspector) and GPU/rendering knowledge (OpenGL ES, Vulkan, Metal, DirectX) appear under Preferred qualifications only.
The '+15% bonus target + equity' components are noted but not captured in the comp range fields, which reflect only the stated base salary range.
This role is a developer-relations / technical solutions consultant hybrid; 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is the best fit given the mix of external partner engagement, code analysis, and advocacy — 15-1252 (Software Developers) is a plausible runner-up given the code contribution and tooling responsibilities.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): XR development.
