Software Engineer III, Infrastructure

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.

The Production 2020 program is an Software Reliability Engineering initiative with the mission to meaningfully reduce the amount of time a typical Google engineer spends on basic service management in production. The product suite aims to make code, configuration, storage schemas and footprint deployments easy, safe, and reliable.

The Rollouts Configuration team develops the platform, enabling Google service owners to deploy config changes safely and efficiently across different environments. We tackle complex challenges in large-scale distributed systems to ensure reliable and performant config delivery for all of Google.

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.
