Hi guys,
Just wonder if Google recruits Software Engineer roles (L4, L5) with Python and C++ skills (especially Python) in the UK. What I can see from Google Career are Android-related roles with required Java experience.
Do they actually just need Java SWE and not recruit other skills like Python?
Thanks

That said not many products are Python based so finding a good role like that is going to be harder. Generally Python is used for internal tools, machine learning and YouTube.
C++ is a different story. C++ is used in lots of areas and you would probably find it easier to find an interesting role.
The last thing I would add is that within Google we make use of a lot of custom tech / libraries so even if you found an interesting Python role you would probably be writing code that is quite different from what you are writing today.
I guess Google CV scanning system won't drop out a CV without Java keyword automatically?
