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.

Our team builds a high-performance, reliable, and efficient Borglet component. This enables ML workloads, from the onboarding of TPUs/GPUs to ensuring ML applications run efficiently and reliably on top of Borg. We're part of the broader Borglet team, Google's node management agent. We are a systems-heavy team that works closely with Borg cluster management software, the kernel, hardware platforms, and user applications. This positions us in a key role for infrastructure projects and allows us to play a critical part in our changing Google Cloud business.

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

• Design, implement, and analyze low-level computer systems and their interactions with the kernel and hardware.
• Participate in, or lead design reviews with peers and stakeholders to decide amongst available technologies.
• Review code developed by other developers and provide feedback to ensure best practices (e.g., style guidelines, checking code in, accuracy, testability, and efficiency).
  
• Contribute to existing documentation or educational content and adapt content based on product/program updates and user feedback.
  
• Collaborate with partner teams as well as users across Google (e.g., Borg team, Machine Learning teams, Hardware platform teams, Site Reliability Engineer teams, Google Cloud).
