ABOUT THE JOB:

Systems Development Engineering (SDE) at Google is a role where you manage

services and systems at scale. SDEs creatively put their engineering discipline

to use automating the mundane and reducing toil. We don’t just write code to fix

bugs, but emphasize the development of tools and solutions that fix classes of

problems. We know it’s hard to control what you can’t measure – so we focus on

observability: instrumenting first, then turning data into knowledge, and

finally knowledge into action. We know that the operational efficiency of Google

systems, services, virtual compute environments and the operating systems that

power them impact the environment, not just the bottom line. We know that

working together we can do more, and that community matters.

Google 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.

Together we engineer and build the infrastructure, tools, access and telemetry

for systems that enable orchestration of Google-scale services. Come build

things that matter.
