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.

Google Cloud Storage (GCS) is the object store and lynchpin of Google’s Cloud

platform. GCS works at planet-scale and supports both external customers and

internal Google services like YouTube, Drive, Photos, and Gmail. We host

trillions of objects, store exabytes of user data, and process millions of

Queries per second (QPS).

This role is for the GCS Blob Efficiency team within Google Cloud Storage. Our

goal is to improve storage overheads and lower costs. Most partners are Software

Engineers within GCS based in Sunnyvale and Infra Storage teams in New York. You

will have experience in large-scale distributed systems and be excited about

massive-scale optimizations.

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

experience, and relevant education or training.
