About The Job
Google's software engineers develop the next-generation technologies that change how billions of users connect, explore, and interact with information and one another. Our products need to handle information at massive scale, and extend well beyond web search. We're looking for engineers who bring fresh ideas from all areas, including information retrieval, distributed computing, large-scale system design, networking and data storage, security, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, UI design and mobile; the list goes on and is growing every day. As a software engineer, you will work on a specific project critical to Google’s needs with opportunities to switch teams and projects as you and our fast-paced business grow and evolve. We need our engineers to be versatile, display leadership qualities and be enthusiastic to take on new problems across the full-stack as we continue to push technology forward.

With your technical expertise you will manage project priorities, deadlines, and deliverables. You will design, develop, test, deploy, maintain, and enhance software solutions.

Google Cloud Storage is Google's scalable, distributed storage system for unstructured data. In this role, you will participate and tech-lead efforts to substantially overhaul and modernize the data serving infrastructure. You will work on the infrastructure that supports a business stream and rapid exponential growth. You will be responsible for establishing a foundation to ensure the reliability of the service and enable the business expansion with a wide variety of use-cases and workloads.

Google Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to digitally transform its business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google’s cutting-edge technology, and tools that help developers build more sustainably. 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.

Responsibilities

• Break down the system into separate platforms where each has a stable, well-documented, and encapsulating interface.
• Provide fair resource isolation among users and protect the service from being overloaded.
• Keep the number of network hops at a minimum in serving paths for latency and resources efficiency (i.e., CPU/RAM, network bandwidth, etc.).
• Simplify the stack and process to ensure code changes are easy to make, test, and rollout with minimal friction. Boost developers' confidence on making substantial architectural overhauls without worrying about breaking things.
