Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) combines software and systems engineering to build and run large-scale, massively distributed, fault-tolerant systems. SRE ensures that Google Cloud's services—both our internally critical and our externally-visible systems—have reliability, uptime appropriate to customer's needs and a fast rate of improvement. Additionally SRE’s will keep an ever-watchful eye on our systems capacity and performance.

Much of our software development focuses on optimizing existing systems, building infrastructure and eliminating work through automation. On the SRE team, you’ll have the opportunity to manage the complex challenges of scale which are unique to Google Cloud, while using your expertise in coding, algorithms, complexity analysis and large-scale system design. SRE's culture of diversity, intellectual curiosity, problem solving and openness is key to its success. Our organization 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.

With your technical expertise you will manage project priorities, deadlines, and deliverables. You will design, develop, test, deploy, maintain, and enhance software solutions.

• Ensure the safety, reliability, availability, and performance of new hardware platforms throughout the product's lifecycle, from concept to EOL.
• Drive an understanding of production reliability into platform design and development, through consulting, model development, and automation.
• Own the characterization and qualification of new platforms. Build increasingly better reliability through closer understanding of the platform's performance and capabilities.
• Develop per-platform capability-focused SLOs, monitoring, and alerts to create coherency and consistency in spite of significantly increased platform heterogeneity.
• Learn about the software and hardware that underpins Google’s production systems and interact with the development and SRE teams that make the magic happen.
