About the job
Google is proud to boast a network that provides service to millions of Internet users around the world. The Network Engineering team is responsible for operating that network reliably and at scale. As a member of the team, you have a direct impact on design and feature enhancements to keep our systems running smoothly. You also ensure that network operations are safe and efficient by monitoring network performance, coordinating planned maintenance, adjusting hardware components and responding to network connectivity issues. Google's complex network generates a constant stream of challenges which require you to continually be innovative with an evolving set of technologies.

You will be accountable for the holistic health of the customer facing edge network, by delivering the edge as a modular component of GGN's network planning and deployment pipelines, and ensuring that the edge meets its promised
Service Level Objectives (SLO).
