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.
As a key member of a small and versatile team, you design, test, deploy and maintain software solutions.
Borglet is an-machine agent, a part of Borg - Google's Cluster Management System. This means that we work on one of the most impactful software systems at Google, that affects all company's workloads. We focus on supporting the latest types of workloads, the newest hardware, and the most up-to-date security measures.
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.
Responsibilities
- Code in C++ (learn if you don't have experience).
- Understand guest (virtualized) and host (hypervisor) environments and come up with secure solutions that connect both.
- Work with peers to identify, design, create, and optimize software features that run on top of Google's hardware stack.
- Develop, test, integrate, and release these solutions.
- Design and build infrastructure to automatically measure and detect regressions in key performance metrics at scale.
