While it remains to be seen if Google Inc. ever plans to expand its high-speed broadband experiment beyond its test site of Kansas City, the search engine giant appears to be on the hunt for a trio of engineers to help with the mobile side of its Google Fiber operations from its Waterloo, Ont. offices.

Google Canada has listed at least three job postings related to Google Fiber on LinkedIn. Google is looking for a product manager for Google Fiber mobile apps, as well as a test engineer and a software engineer to help with mobile apps related to Google Fiber.

According to the product manager posting, the job will include being responsible “for our efforts to integrate mobile applications into our internet and video experiences.”

Google Fiber is a service the Mountain View, California-based company has been offering to residents in Kansas City, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri.

Residents in those areas can sign up for one of a variety of plans offering Internet connectivity and television service, which include up to one gigabit upload and download speed, no data caps and one terabyte of cloud storage. Monthly service plans range up to US$120 per month.

Google has employees at a number of its offices around the world — including the Kitchener-Waterloo location — working on Google Fiber, so the presence of Google Fiber team members in Waterloo should not be taken as an indication that the Silicon Valley company is making plans to roll out the service in Canada.
