Job Description

As a Software Engineer in Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) at Google, you'll design, write, and deliver software to enhance the availability, scalability, latency, and efficiency of Google's services. You'll solve critical service problems, automate responses, and build automation to prevent recurrence. You will also engage in capacity planning, performance analysis, and system tuning. The role requires expertise in coding, algorithms, large-scale system design, and a systematic problem-solving approach. On-call duties using a follow-the-sun model are part of the responsibilities. You'll work with large-scale distributed systems, contributing to designs, architectures, and standards. The position focuses on ensuring Google's services are reliable and highly available.

Good To Have:

Networking knowledge (TCP/IP, UDP, etc.)
Understanding of web services at scale
System capacity planning & demand forecasting

Must Have:

Bachelor's degree in CS or related field
Experience with algorithms & data structures
Proficiency in C, C++, Java, Python, or Go
Large-scale distributed system experience

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's services—both our internally critical and our externally-visible systems—have reliability, uptime appropriate to users' 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, while using your expertise in coding, algorithms, complexity analysis and large-scale system design.

SRE's culture of 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

Design, write, and deliver software to improve the availability, scalability, latency, and efficiency of Google's services.
Solve problems relating to mission critical services and build automation to prevent problem recurrence with the goal of automating response to all non-exceptional service conditions.
Influence and create new designs, architectures, standards, and methods for large-scale distributed systems.
Engage in service capacity planning and demand forecasting, software performance analysis, and system tuning.
Conduct periodic on-call duties using a follow-the-sun model.
