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 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.

CorpNet SRE runs a fleet of Core Network Services, services that are critical for Googlers working in our offices worldwide. Serving as both the developers and SREs for our services means our team is unique amongst SRE teams.

Responsibilities

• Ensure our services deliver reliable networking connectivity to Googlers in offices worldwide.
• Defend our service service level objective (SLO), participating in a oncall rotation and supporting a postmortem culture.
• Participate in the ongoing development of our services, ensuring they continue to operate in a reliable, efficient manner.
• Serve as service owner for one or more of our services, taking responsibility and becoming the subject matter expert for that service.
