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.
We are creating the interoperable compute infrastructure and Cloud platform that will allow Googlers to build fast and on the edge of technology, without having to manage the infrastructure.
Our stack is a key piece of infrastructure for the emerging AI platforms and the path out of the Tech Island!
Goal: A single type of OnePlatform API becomes the one-stop-shop for all clients
Hybrid connections come with new security risks. Before, manual reviews and checklists were required before allowing a client to call a dependency.
We believe we can make things even faster: by changing the way that Googlers create Cloud infrastructure, we can assign clients a security level from the very beginning. This level will then be used as the key to cross the hybrid boundary.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.Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
