About the job

Google isn't just a software company. The Hardware Operations team is responsible for monitoring the state-of-the-art physical infrastructure behind Google's powerful search technology.

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