Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) is what you get when you treat
operations as if it’s a software problem. Our mission is to
progress, protect, and provide for the software and systems
behind all of Google’s public services Search, Ads, Gmail,
Android, YouTube, and App Engine, to name just a few with an
everwatchful eye on their availability, latency, performance, and
capacity.
This is an unusual job, unlike others in the industry. Like
traditional operations groups, we keep important, revenuecritical
systems up and running despite hurricanes, bandwidth outages,
and configuration problems. Unlike traditional operations groups,
we also have full access to and authority to fix, extend, and scale
the code to keep it working and harden it against all the vagaries
of the Internet. We hire people from both systems and software
backgrounds. Strong candidates will have experience with both.
Just as what we do is unique, where we do it is unique too. At
Google, we have the good fortune to have developed many
interesting systems ranging from planetspanning databases to
near realtime scalable data warehousing to faulttolerant
datastream joining. In SRE, we flip between the finegrained
detail of disk driver I/O scheduling to the big picture of
continentallevel service capacity, across a range of systems
and a user population measured in billions. We own those
products in production. We drive reliability and performance
across massive scale by mastering the full depth of the stack.
We literally do learn something new every day usually
surprising things that have the potential to transform the lives of
billions of our users around the world.
As a Software Engineer on the SRE team, you will have the
opportunity to tackle the complex problems of scale which are
unique to Google while using your expertise in coding,
algorithms, complexity analysis and largescale system design.
Responsibilities
Design, write and deliver software to improve the availability,
scalability, latency and efficiency of Google's services.
Solve problems relating to mission critical services and build
automation to prevent problem recurrence; with the goal of
automating response to all nonexceptional service
conditions.
Influence and create new designs, architectures, standards
and methods for largescale distributed systems.
Engage in service capacity planning, demand forecasting,
software performance analysis and systems tuning.
Conduct periodic on call duties using the followthesun
model.
