About the job

Google's software engineers develop the next-generation technologies that change how billions of users connect, explore, and interact with information and one another. Our products need to handle information at massive scale, and extend well beyond web search. We're looking for engineers who bring fresh ideas from all areas, including information retrieval, distributed computing, large-scale system design, networking and data storage, security, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, UI design and mobile; the list goes on and is growing every day. As a software engineer, you will work on a specific project critical to Google’s needs with opportunities to switch teams and projects as you and our fast-paced business grow and evolve. We need our engineers to be versatile, display leadership qualities and be enthusiastic to take on new problems across the full-stack as we continue to push technology forward.

In this role, you will be part of a team that builds and operates Google’s data centers, including the machines, networks, hardware, firmware, software and systems that manage it all. You will test the entirety (end-to-end) to ensure that the hundreds of systems involved interoperate properly and achieve the necessary performance and availability to keep Google’s data centers online for our customers, both internal customers like cloud or search, and external customers who are a significant portion of the internet-connected population.

Google Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to digitally transform its business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google’s cutting-edge technology, and tools that help developers build more sustainably. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical business problems.

Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
