About the job

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. SRE ensures that Google Cloud's services have reliability, uptime, and a fast rate of improvement. 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. This role involves engaging in and improving the whole lifecycle of services—from inception and design, through to deployment, operation and refinement. You will support services before they go live through activities such as system design consulting, developing software platforms and frameworks, capacity planning and launch reviews. Once services are live, you'll maintain them by measuring and monitoring availability, latency and overall system health. You will also be responsible for scaling systems sustainably through mechanisms like automation, and evolving systems by pushing for changes that improve reliability and velocity.
Must have:
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field
  • 5 years of experience with software development
  • 5 years of experience with data structures or algorithms
