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 classes of problems. We know it’s hard to control what you can’t measure – so we focus on observability: instrumenting first, then turning data into knowledge, and finally knowledge into action. We know that 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. We know that working together we can do more, and that community matters.
Google brings together people with a wide variety of backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. We encourage them to collaborate, think big and take risks in a blame-free environment. We promote self-direction to work on meaningful projects, while we also strive to create an environment that provides the support and mentorship needed to learn and grow.
Together we engineer and build the infrastructure, tools, access and telemetry for systems that enable orchestration of Google-scale services. Come build things that matter.
The team is responsible for the computing infrastructure that the silicon design teams use to deliver products, including compute, data storage, networking, and security. As a Senior Systems Development Engineer, you will help maintain and improve existing systems, while helping develop next-generation solutions for future projects.
Responsibilities
- Architect, implement, and maintain computing infrastructure for use by Google’s silicon design teams.
- Create new, and improve existing, Linux computing, storage, and networking environments running on Google Cloud Platform.
- Troubleshoot technical issues within the Linux computing environment.
- Streamline operations work and reduce support toil by proposing and implementing automation and process improvements.
- Participate in on-call rotation and monitoring of production distributed computing infrastructure.
