About the job
Google is proud to boast a network that provides service to millions of Internet users around the world. The Network Engineering team is responsible for operating that network reliably and at scale. As a member of the team, you have a direct impact on design and feature enhancements to keep our systems running smoothly. You also ensure that network operations are safe and efficient by monitoring network performance, coordinating planned maintenance, adjusting hardware components and responding to network connectivity issues. Google’s complex network generates a constant stream of challenges which require you to continually be innovative with an evolving set of technologies. Keeping the network reliable ensures that our users stay connected with our suite of applications, products and services.
The Google Network Operations (GNO) runs the most reliable network. We proactively monitor the network and repair issues ensuring our users and customers are connected, our products are the most available and that we meet Google’s demanding growth.
The ability of GNO to scale with the growth of the network requires that accountability for, and oversight of day-to-day GNO functions be present 24/7 without relying on any one manager in any given locale. The size of the team also requires distributing the load of people and performance management to align with Google standards of providing local management when possible keeping a manageable number of direct reports per manager.
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.
