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.

and is one of the largest distributed systems in the world. Our team is

responsible for building and managing the core metadata infrastructure for

Blobstore – a planet-scale distributed storage system that handles over 100

trillion objects and several million QPS.

In this role, you will play a key role in developing and maintaining the

metadata infrastructure that powers Google's massive storage system, Blobstore,

which is a critical storage system for products like YouTube, Photos, Workspace,

Android, AI/ML platforms and more.
