About the job

Systems Development Engineering (SDE) at Google is a role where you manage services and systems at scale. SDEs creatively put their engineering discipline to use automating the mundane and reducing toil. We don’t just write code to fix bugs, but emphasize the development of tools and solutions that fix classes of problems.

We know that the operational efficiency of Google systems, services, virtual compute environments and the operating systems that power them impact the environment, not just the bottom line. We know that working together we can do more, and that community matters. Google 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.

Together we engineer and build the infrastructure, tools, access and telemetry for systems that enable orchestration of Google‑scale services. Come build things that matter.

In this role, you will be maintaining operational health and optimizing capacity. You will be improving the experience for end‑users, with the aims and business goals of our internal stakeholders.

Responsibilities

- Support Linux machines across the globe to ensure the reliability of Google’s content delivery and compute infrastructure.

- Collaborate regularly with partner ISPs to provide remote troubleshooting and IP networking support.

- Identify and implement projects to automate and improve support, and onboard new hardware and services.

- Work with engineering teams, hardware vendors, product managers, and partners.
