Job Description

Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) at Google combines software and systems engineering to build and run large-scale, massively distributed, fault-tolerant systems. SREs ensure the reliability, uptime, and performance of Google Cloud services, both internally critical and externally-visible systems. They also focus on optimizing existing systems, building infrastructure, and eliminating work through automation. As an SRE, you'll manage the complex challenges of scale unique to Google Cloud, leveraging your expertise in coding, algorithms, complexity analysis, and large-scale system design. You'll work in a collaborative, open, and intellectually stimulating environment, collaborating with diverse teams and contributing to meaningful projects. This role involves managing project priorities, deadlines, and deliverables, and designing, developing, testing, deploying, maintaining, and enhancing software solutions to ensure Google Cloud's services are reliable and scalable.

Must have:

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field
2+ years of experience with programming in one or more languages
2+ years of experience with Unix/Linux systems internals and administration or networking

Good to have:

Experience working in computing, distributed systems, storage, or networking
Expertise in designing, analyzing, and troubleshooting large-scale distributed systems
Ability to debug, optimize code, and automate routine tasks
Systematic problem-solving approach, coupled with effective verbal and written communication skills

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.

With your technical expertise you will manage project priorities, deadlines, and deliverables. You will design, develop, test, deploy, maintain, and enhance software solutions.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

Improve the whole lifecycle of services from inception and design, through deployment, operation, and refinement.
Manage support services before they go live through activities such as system design consulting, developing software platforms and frameworks, capacity planning, and launch reviews.
Provide guidance to other team members on managing availability and performance of mission critical services, on building automation to prevent problem recurrence, and on building automated responses for non-exceptional service conditions.
Maintain services once they are live by measuring and monitoring availability, latency, and overall system health. Lead sustainable incident response and blameless postmortems.
Scale systems sustainably through mechanisms like automation and evolve systems by driving changes that improve reliability and velocity.
