You'll have a huge impact on the quality of Google's growing suite of products and services. Android is Google's mobile operating system powering more than 3 billion devices worldwide. Android is about bringing computing to everyone in the world.

We think everyone in the world should have access to the best computing has to offer. We provide the platform for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and developers to build compelling computing devices (smartphones, tablets, TVs, wearables, etc) that run the best apps/services for everyone in the world.
