About the job

VMware Engine is one of our 3 primary computing offerings (in addition to GCE and GKE). More importantly, it is a useful wedge into enterprises that has become time sensitive because of Broadcom’s practices since they acquired VMware. This is a very complex operation because it runs in region extensions adjacent to GCP and on a platform different from GCE.

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.
