About the job:
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 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.
As a part of the Workspace AI SRE team, your mission is to safely and responsibly enable rapid iteration of high-quality AI (e.g. Gemini) services and features using common infrastructure within Workspace. You will partner with development teams to ensure new AI-powered features for products like Gmail, Docs, Meet, and more are reliable, scalable, and efficient. As Workspace AI products move fast to stay competitive, SRE plays a critical role in building the necessary automation and safety guardrails.
Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running.
