Senior Research Data Scientist, Resource Planning, Google Cloud
About The Position
In this role, you will apply operations research and statistical methods to solve challenges for both Google’s internal services and Google Cloud Platform. You will work broadly across Google’s Platforms Engineering, Systems Infrastructure, and Site Reliability Engineering teams to optimize our deployment of resources and drive innovation in our software stack, allowing for efficient use of resources. You will think critically and strategically about Google’s cloud as a technology, a business, and as an operation. You will be discussing total cost of management with hardware engineers, resource optimization with software engineers, or reviewing fleet plans and deployment policies with operations executives, all based upon the analytical models that you will be developing. You will contribute to the development of critical forecasting and capacity planning tools for Google storage products, as well as other resource efficiency initiatives. Through this work, you will not only help Google run as efficiently as possible, but you will also help us to advance the statistical forecasting for resource planning.
