Site Reliability Engineering combines software and systems engineering to build and run large-scale, massively distributed, fault-tolerant systems. SRE ensures that Google Cloud's services have reliability, uptime appropriate to customer's needs and a fast rate of improvement.
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.
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.
Responsibilities
- Improve the whole lifecycle of services from inception and design through deployment, operation, and refinement.
- Provide guidance to other team members on managing availability and performance of mission critical services, on building automation to prevent problem recurrence, and on building automated responses for non-exceptional service conditions.
- Maintain services once they are live by measuring and monitoring availability, latency, and overall system health. Lead sustainable global networking incident response and blameless postmortems.
- Manage support services before they go live through activities such as system design consulting, developing software platforms and frameworks, capacity planning, and launch reviews.
- Improve visibility into the network performance, availability and traffic patterns, and publish critical information for engineering analysis and programs.
