About the job

Systems Development Engineering (SDE) at Google is a role where you manage services and systems at scale. SDEs creatively put their engineering discipline to use automating the mundane and reducing toil. We don't just write code to fix bugs, but emphasize the development of tools and solutions that fix problems.

We focus on observability: instrumenting first, then turning data into knowledge, and finally knowledge into action. The operational efficiency of Google systems, services, virtual compute environments and the operating systems that power them impact the environment, not just the bottom line. Working together we can do more, and community matters.

Google brings together people with a wide variety of backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. We encourage collaboration, think big and take risks in a blame free environment. We promote self direction on meaningful projects, while also striving to provide support and mentorship needed to learn and grow.

In this role, you will design and operate reliable and resilient cloud platforms, automate changes, implement monitoring, and manage the Google Distributed Cloud (GDC) platform. You will participate in an on call rotation to ensure incidents can be resolved.

Responsibilities

• Engage and improve the whole life cycle of private/secure infrastructure from inception and design, to qualification and validation, through deployment and operation.
• Assist Engineering and Operations teams in building an ecosystem of integration, empowering software automation within private/secure networks.
• Work cross-functionally to design, develop, and validate product introductions of network and computing hardware, solutions, and technologies.
• Provide technical implementation and operational support in customer environments, including guidance on implementation feasibility of cross-product integrations.

Google is proud to be an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer. We are committed to building a workforce that is representative of the users we serve, creating a culture of belonging, and providing an equal employment opportunity regardless of race, creed, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, national origin, disability, age, genetic information, veteran status, marital status, pregnancy or related condition (including breastfeeding), expecting or parents to be, criminal histories consistent with legal requirements, or any other basis protected by law.
