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.

The Google Distributed Cloud (GDC) Infrastructure Operator Experience (IOx) team

integrates software engineering with systems operations in restricted,

air-gapped environments to make GDC operable and reliable at scale. Our mission

is to bridge the 'Empathy Gap' between product development and infrastructure

operators, transitioning GDC operations from reactive firefighting to proactive

engineering.

We act as pathfinders for the latest platform issues, converting those

experiences into repeatable operating frameworks and intuitive tools that

empower partners and customers to run GDC autonomously. Rather than simply

automating the status quo, we proactively push GDC up the operability gradient

by simplifying control systems, reducing signal noise, and designing software

solutions that eliminate manual toil at its source.

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.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills,

experience, and relevant education or training.

US: $147000 - $210000 (USD) + 15% bonus target + equity + benefits
