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.

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.

Google Cloud Storage is Google Cloud's highly scalable, distributed Object Store. As the actionable reliability team, we own the charter of improving the reliability of GCS serving stack, with responsibilities in establishing accurate end to end measurement of the serving stack health, designing mechanisms to discover production issues, building attribution frameworks to reduce the resolution time on production and customer-specific issues, and improving the reliability of the overall serving stack by optimizing the call pattern between the serving components.
