About The Position

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. As a software engineer, you will work on a specific project critical to Google’s needs with opportunities to switch teams and projects as you and our fast-paced business grow and evolve. 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. Build the next-generation data center monitoring stack for Google that enables quick hardware integration. Over the past five years, demand for new types of DC hardware has increased by an order of magnitude. The vast number of new, increasingly hardware configurations requires a monitoring infrastructure that can easily integrate, whether the hardware is Google- or vendor-designed. To achieve this, Google is modernizing its telemetry and management stack by adopting open standards and moving away from aged monitoring approaches designed for last-generation hardware. Our mission is to build an extensible monitoring stack that supports easy integration, open standards and open source, and supports Google-proprietary, vendor-developed, and off-the-shelf devices. Google Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to digitally transform its business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google’s cutting-edge technology, and tools that help developers build more sustainably. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical business problems.
