About the job

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.

Google's networks power multiple products, along with Google Cloud, and differentiates Google from the rest of the industry in terms of reach, capacity, performance, and reliability. The software systems that control how traffic flows on the network need to work at a global scale and be highly reliable, while delivering universal connectivity and predictable performance.

In this role, you will design, implement, and evolve control plane software technologies to support the success of Google's wide area networks. Our systems and infrastructure are responsible for delivering every byte for Google and GCP services end-to-end, in accordance in compliance with SLOs and business policies, and optimized for efficiency.

Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.
