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.
The Global Network Edge (GNE) team is responsible for the network that connects Goolgle's cloud customers directly to the Cloud Networking and other Google Cloud Platform (GCP) offerings, as well as individual users globally to Google's services such as Gmail, Search, and Youtube through the Google backbone. GNE team owns the entire life-cycle of new products and technologies being introduced into Google Global Network's (GGN) edge domain, conceptualizing, prototyping, developing, automation and testing, executing the pilot, rolling out to the network, making it generally available, supporting the network/design in its deployed state, and eventually deprecating it.
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.Responsibilities
- Build innovative software defined network control plane system for Google Global Network Edge (GNE).
- Design, implement, and qualify new networking features including software architecture evolution, admission control and bandwidth enforcement, network programming coordination and management, and availability improving mechanisms.
- Work with other GNE team members, test engineers, and SRE's to ship Google product releases.
