Job Summary

Job Description

Google Cloud's Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team combines software and systems engineering to build and run large-scale, massively distributed, fault-tolerant systems. SREs ensure the reliability and uptime of both internal and external Google Cloud services, meeting customer needs and driving rapid improvement. They also monitor system capacity and performance. Much of the SRE team's work focuses on optimizing existing systems, building infrastructure, and automating routine tasks. This role offers the opportunity to manage the complex challenges of scale inherent in Google Cloud, leveraging expertise in coding, algorithms, complexity analysis, and large-scale system design. SREs engage in and improve the whole lifecycle of services—from inception and design to deployment, operation, and refinement. They support services before they go live through activities such as system design consulting, platform and framework development, capacity planning, and launch reviews. Once services are live, SREs maintain them by measuring and monitoring availability, latency, and overall system health. They scale systems sustainably through automation and evolve systems by pushing for changes that enhance reliability and velocity. They also practice sustainable incident response and blameless postmortems.
Must have:
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field
  • 5 years of software development experience
  • 5 years of experience with data structures or algorithms
  • 3 years of experience with large-scale distributed systems
  • 2 years of experience leading projects and providing technical leadership
Good to have:

About the job

Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) combines software and systems engineering to build and run large-scale, massively distributed, fault-tolerant systems. SRE ensures that Google Cloud's services—both our internally critical and our externally-visible systems—have reliability, uptime appropriate to customer's needs and a fast rate of improvement. Additionally SRE’s will keep an ever-watchful eye on our systems capacity and performance.

Much of our software development focuses on optimizing existing systems, building infrastructure and eliminating work through automation. On the SRE team, you’ll have the opportunity to manage the complex challenges of scale which are unique to Google Cloud, while using your expertise in coding, algorithms, complexity analysis and large-scale system design. SRE's culture of diversity, intellectual curiosity, problem solving and openness is key to its success. Our organization 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.

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.

Responsibilities

  • Engage in and improve the whole lifecycle of services—from inception and design, through to deployment, operation and refinement.
  • Support services before they go live through activities such as system design consulting, developing software platforms and frameworks, capacity planning and launch reviews.
