About The Position

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
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.

In this role, you will be responsible for designing, building, and evolving
Google's internet-facing edge infrastructure. We are the gateway to Google, and
our mission is to deliver unparalleled reliability, scalability, and
observability for the ingress/egress load balancing systems that power all of
Google's services.
