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.
With your technical expertise you will manage project priorities, deadlines, and deliverables. You will design, develop, test, deploy, maintain, and enhance software solutions.
Network Insights develops software that empowers users to navigate and dissect massive volumes of networking data. Our innovations enable the extraction of critical signals from overwhelming noise, proactively preventing outages, and elevating the overall quality and reliability of Google's network for billions of users worldwide. Our mission is critical to decisively minimise the impact of network impairments on all Google customers. This involves a dynamic approach to analysing network signals, pinpointing anomalies, and automatically diagnosing the root causes of outages. This testing and rewarding role demands an effective combination of software engineering experience and a data-problem-solving mindset.
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.
Responsibilities
- Drive the technical strategy, define long-term goals and roadmaps for improved network reliability, anomaly detection, and root cause analysis.
- Act as a technical leader, mentoring other engineers, influencing stakeholders across teams, and guiding technical decisions to ensure high-quality solutions.
- Manage ambiguous problems, reduce chaos in existing systems, and anticipate future scaling needs to maintain system stability and performance of the codebase.
- Understand data and its impacts on the software design, investigate unusual data and propose a course of action for dealing with it.
- Contribute to the broader engineering community through mentoring, knowledge sharing, and participation in team-wide activities.
