Minimum qualifications:

　　Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.

　　6 years of experience with systems administration, systems development engineering, or similar roles.

　　5 years of experience in Scripting/Automation using Python or Go.

　　3 years of experience with data-center network architecture or enterprise class servers, storage, networking gears.

　　Preferred qualifications:

　　Experience with configuration management tools and automation efforts with technical troubleshooting and performance tuning.

　　Experience working with cloud provider ecosystems for cloud service providers.

　　Experience with Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) tools, building/monitoring pipelines, and debugging infrastructure issues.

　　Knowledge of cloud technologies and in enterprise compute environments with virtualization and cloud hosting.

　　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 Hosted (GDCH) is designed as a converged hardware/software solution for customers who want the benefits of Google Cloud on premises. GDCH will include dedicated hardware (e.g., rack, network switch, servers, storage), operating system, and selected first-party GCP services.

　　Google Cloud accelerates organizations’ ability to digitally transform their business with the best infrastructure, platform, industry solutions and expertise. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google’s cutting-edge technology – all on the cleanest cloud in the industry. 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.

　　Understand the service parameters of the server portfolio and validate it against the product requirements, consider both the physical and software characteristics (e.g., power, cooling, rack space, network connectivity), and the scale constraints of the software control plane.

　　Manage the engineering NPI (New Product Introduction) to manage changes and evolution of GDCH hardware design.

　　Validate the performance characteristics of resources to make sure their latency, throughput, computation, and capacity parameters align with the customer requirements and GDCH roadmap.

　　Ensure the hardware components meet the security and compliance requirements by collaborating with GDCH security, Google security, and industry security consortium and compliance bodies.

　　Automate and document the operational tasks to deploy and maintain the hardware component.

　　Google is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and is an affirmative action employer. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity or Veteran status. We also consider qualified applicants regardless of criminal histories, consistent with legal requirements.
