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. In this role, you will design and operate reliable and resilient cloud platforms, automate changes, implement monitoring, and manage the Google Distributed Cloud (GDC) platform. You will participate in an on‑call rotation to ensure incidents can be resolved. 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. Responsibilities Engage and improve the whole life cycle of private/secure infrastructure from inception and design, to qualification and validation, through deployment and operation. Assist Engineering and Operations teams in building an ecosystem of integration, empower software automation within private/secure networks. Work cross‑functionally to design, develop, and validate product introductions of network and computing hardware, solutions, and technologies. Provide technical implementation and operational support in customer environments, including guidance on implementation feasibility of cross‑product integrations. Google is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and is an affirmative action employer. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity or Veteran status.
