You'll participate in or lead small project teams on larger installations and develop project contingency plans. A typical day involves manual movement and installation of racks, and while it can sometimes be physically demanding, you are excited to work with infrastructure that is at the cutting-edge of computer technology.

From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible.
