Senior Software Engineer, Networking Management Distributed Infrastructure
About The Position
Our team is responsible for software that manages changes to Google's cluster networks worldwide. Networking enables the growing demand for distributed computing to support innovative applications, such as machine learning, cloud computing, and Google applications. Our team builds systems to make this possible. We own services for managing network changes including adding, extending, and removing network elements, updating software, changing configurations, installation, qualification, and safely draining/undraining traffic on live network elements. We manage a self-driving network with a built-in capability to adapt and evolve network topology and provide a turn-key network management system for the health and viability of Google's production network. We also manage disaster recovery and emergency services to ensure availability and recover Google networking services when the unexpected happens. In this role, you'll be working with a team of talented software engineers to build, deploy, and in some cases even operate, the systems that enable network systems management. As part of the team, you will design and implement large features that enable the self-driving networks mission of the team. You will develop technical understanding and competency working with complex distributed systems and cope with a broad ecosystem with many moving parts. You will contribute to developing new systems for emerging customer requirements as well as evolving and sustaining existing systems.
