About the job

The Technical Higher Education team creates innovative content and programs to increase the persistence of students in higher education computer science programs, leading to broader access to pathways in the tech industry.

The Engineering Education (EngEDU) organization provides Google engineers and the world with relevant and timely technical content, learning resources, and tools. We partner with engineers to facilitate development of live and online classes, codelabs, tech talks, and other innovative learning formats. We make continual learning and knowledge sharing an integral part of Google’s engineering culture.

As a Technical Writer, you will design, build, launch, land, and maintain Google’s undergraduate curriculum for Computer Science. You will partner with stakeholders to deliver multimedia content supporting both faculty and students at institutions.

This includes identifying the best solution for delivering content to our learners whether in writing, video, or through coding examples.

Research happens at Google everyday, on many different embedded teams throughout the company. Our research reaches the user through both services and products such as Search, Maps, Google Assistant, Google Translate, Google Cloud and our computing, storage, and networking infrastructure. To achieve this, we’re working on a wide variety of projects that utilize the latest state-of-the-art technologies that push the boundaries of what is possible.
