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.

The Customer Services Edge team is responsible for the network that connects Goolgle's cloud customers directly to our Cloud Networking and other Google Cloud Platform (GCP) offerings. In order to ensure technology continuity, the team owns the entire lifecycle of new products and technologies being introduced into Google Global Network's (GGN) edge domain - conceptualizing, prototyping, developing, executing the pilot, rolling out to the network, making it generally available, supporting the network/design in its deployed state, and eventually deprecating it. The team holds itself accountable for the holistic health of the customer facing edge network - delivering the edge as a modular component of GGN's network planning and deployment pipelines, and ensuring that the edge meets its promised SLOs.

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.
