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.

Google Distributed Cloud (GDC) is a new offering designed as a converged hardware and software solution for customers who want the benefits of Google Cloud on premises. GDC will include dedicated hardware (e.g., racks, network switches, servers, storage), operating systems, selected first-party GCP services (verified and supported by Google) and third-party services. This enables a shorter (and more cost effective) time to market for customers and enables us to deliver Service-level agreements (SLAs) on reliability, scalability, performance and operations.

GDC delivers Google’s hyperscale infrastructure and services to on-premises or third-party facilities. It allows regulated industries to maintain operational consistency with GCP while keeping sensitive workloads in local, tightly controlled environments. This managed offering empowers customers or service providers to drive innovation while meeting strict sovereignty and geopolitical requirements.

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.
