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.

As part of Google's Cloud Storage SRE team, you will be a key technical driver for one of Google's most business-critical and largest global storage systems. SRE's mission is to ensure the reliability of the service by advocating simplicity, robust engineering, and risk management principles to guide technical priorities.

Our goal is to make Google Customer Solutions (GCS) the most reliable and cost-effective external cloud storage solution, and the best unstructured data storage for internal clients, all while maintaining high performance and durability expectations under challenging resource constraints.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
