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.

Google Distributed Cloud (GDC) provides Google-managed hardware, including AI,

security, and open source software, at the customer's place of business. GDC's

Operation Support team provides front-line, 24/7, 5-minute response

monitoring and customer issues escalated by the Cloud Support team. When we need

help, we're backed by a worldwide Site Reliability Engineering organization and

domain-expert rotations.Google Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to

digitally transform its business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade

solutions that leverage Google’s cutting-edge technology, and tools that help

developers build more sustainably. Customers in more than 200 countries and

territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and

solve their most critical business problems.Individual pay is determined by

factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or
