Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) combines software and systems engineering to build and run large-scale, massively distributed, fault-tolerant systems. SRE ensures that Google's services—both our internally critical and our externally-visible systems—have reliability, uptime appropriate to users' 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, 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.

In this role, you will help detect and potentially prevent customer-facing outages by ensuring services are working as expected for the users.
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.
- Manage a team of engineers who are responsible for major projects like trusted partner cloud deliverables.
- Work on tasks that are part of major, complex projects that will be directly seen by users across Google and participate in the production deployment of services and ongoing production support.
- Develop and maintain working relationships within our distributed team across multiple timezones, sharing knowledge and learning relevant technical areas and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) best practices.
- Partner with other teams and functions (e.g., Program Manager, UX) and in coordination with engineering leadership to understand and deliver the best product experience for our users.
- Execute separately on agreed objectives with proper guidance, escalating appropriately when required.
