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. As an Operations Technician, you'll install, configure, test, troubleshoot and maintain hardware (like servers and its components) and server software (like Google's Linux cluster). You'll also take on the configuration of more complex components such as networks, routers, hubs, bridges, switches and networking protocols. 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.

In this role, you will deploy and maintain Google Data Center Server and Network Infrastructure by installing, configuring, testing, troubleshooting, and repairing both hardware and server software. You will manage the configuration of networks, routers, bridges, and switches. You’ll lead local project teams on installations and develop project contingency plans. Additionally, you will manage the physical deployment of data center-related technology, collaborate with various stakeholders, and ensure that goals, missions, and projects are delivered successfully and are repeatable across our global network of data centers.

Individuals applying for this position will not be eligible for immigration sponsorship.

Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.
