About Google

Google is not a conventional company, and we don’t intend to become one. True, we share attributes with the world’s most successful organizations – a focus on innovation and smart business practices comes to mind – but even as we continue to grow, we’re committed to retaining a small-company feel. At Google, we know that every employee has something important to say, and that every employee is integral to our success. We provide individually-tailored compensation packages that can be comprised of competitive salary, bonus, and equity components, along with the opportunity to earn further financial bonuses and rewards. Other benefits of being a Googler include generous nutrition (free lunch/dinner) and fitness benefits, excellent medical and health packages, generous annual leave allowances as well as policies to ensure you can take time off without hassle in times of need. Find out more about life at Google.

Never judge a search engine by its interface. Behind that simple search window is one of the most complex technology infrastructures in the world. And it’s run by an equally diverse group of people. At Google, we don’t just accept difference – we thrive on it. We celebrate it. And we support it, for the benefit of our employees, our products and our community. Just as the very idea of Google depends on diversity, so does delivering the best possible products. Our success hinges on our ability to understand the needs of all 597 million of our users. That’s why we work hard to attract and hire talented individuals of every possible perspective, from all over the world. No matter how you slice it, diversity is our DNA. At the end of the day, it’s Googlers who make Google one of Fortune magazine’s “100 Best Companies to Work For.” Find out what makes working here the best place to work.

We tackle a range of complex software and systems issues, including monitoring, responding to and safeguarding the availability of our most popular services.

The role: Software Engineer, Google.com

As a Software Engineer working on Google’s critical production applications and infrastructure, your mission will be to ensure Google is always fast, available, scalable and engineered to withstand unparalleled demand. You will be in the thick of solving the [often unexpected] problems of systems at scale in a way most engineers never experience.

Your scope is from the kernel level to the continent level. This position requires the flexibility and aptitude to zoom in to fine-grained detail, and the agility to zoom right back out and up the stack. Delve into how software performs, packets flow, and hardware and code interact, in support of managing services, steering global traffic and predicting and preventing failures…. all in a day’s work.

You will design and develop systems to run Google Search, Gmail, YouTube, Wave, Maps, Voice, AppEngine, and more.

Manage availability, latency, scalability and efficiency of Google services by engineering reliability into software and systems
Respond to and resolve emergent service problems; write software and build automation to prevent problem recurrence
Participate in service capacity planning and demand forecasting, software performance analysis and system tuning
Review and influence ongoing design, architecture, standards and methods for operating services and systems

Requirements:

BS/MS Degree in Computer Science or related field, and/or equivalent work experience
Fluency in one or more of: C, C++, Java; and familiarity with one or more of: Python, Perl, Shell, PHP
Expertise in data structures, algorithms and complexity analysis
Expertise in analyzing and troubleshooting large-scale distributed systems
Knowledge of IP networking, network analysis, performance and application issues using standard tools like tcpdump
