Are you part ace coder, part adrenaline junkie? Do you have a knack for
seeing a problem and immediately discerning the likely solution? Maybe you've
been coding for years, are bored with the old design-build-review-test-ship-
repeat routine, and yearn for some faster-paced challenges? Or perhaps you're
a seasoned software engineer who is also a genius at jockeying networks and
administering UNIX clusters.
We're looking for top-notch thrill-seeking software engineers to join the
Google.com engineering team. Google.com engineers are in the thick of
everything involved with keeping Google running, from code-level
troubleshooting of service anomalies to safeguarding the availability of our
most popular services; from monitoring and response to building new
automation infrastructure to balancing the desire for change management with
the need for stability. All team members must have strong analytical and
troubleshooting skills, fluency in coding, good communication skills, and most
of all enthusiasm for tackling the complex problems of scale which are
uniquely Google. We tackle challenging, novel situations every day, and work
with just about every other engineering and operations team at Google in the
process.
In this role you will need:
•Expertise in coding, analyzing and troubleshooting large-scale distributed
systems.
•Experience in a high-volume or critical production service environment.
•Some understanding and aptitude of IP networking, including the ability to analyze
network behavior, performance and application issues using standard tools
like tcpdump.
Qualifications:
• Positions available for all levels and years of experience (we have all levels available in SRE ranging from New graduate top 20+ years).
• Some experience developing web-based applications.
• Expertise in data structures, algorithms, and complexity analysis.
• Fluency in one or more of: C, C++, Java.
• Understanding in one of more of: Shell, PHP, Perl or Python.
• Ability to handle periodic on-call duty as well as out-of-band requests.
• Solid working knowledge of Unix, preferably Linux.
• Tack-sharp analytical abilities.
• A strong sense of ownership, urgency, and drive.
•Fluent written communication and unusual verbal agility are strong assets.
•SQL experience a plus, MySQL a plus.
•Experience leading short projects involving outside teams is a plus.
•BA/BS in CS, MS or PhD is preferred, but not required.
