About the job

Google-Wide Profiling (GWP) is one of the key tools we build that plays a big role in saving CPU and RAM resources across the Google fleet. GWP covers a broad spectrum of Google production technologies through its collection, processing, analysis, and visualization of high-volume performance data.

As the Google fleet changes, GWP has to evolve with it. In particular, Google is expanding its support for Arm-based computing and other kinds of hardware platforms. This brings new challenges around understanding shifts in the nature of compute work done at Google. Additionally, GWP needs to scale to serve as a warehouse of performance data going back over 10 years. To support Google’s growing investments in AI and Cloud, delivering tools that enable optimization of the standard production fleet will be critical to Google’s long term success.

In this role, you will design features, develop code in Go and C++, and collaborate with teammates and partners to develop tooling that enables greater efficiency across Google’s production fleet.

The US base salary range for this full-time position is $141,000-$202,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring process.

Responsibilities

• Redesign the GWP’s collection and processing infrastructure to further scale with the fleet and enable better cross-architecture analysis.
• Improve GWP query speed through the use of pre-aggregation, new querying technology and analysis of usage patterns.
• Streamline and optimize the process for adding GWP support for new platforms.
• Improve processing, data quality and coverage of the assembly database (AsmDB), and support for profiling in an increasingly sensitive security environment (profiling within VMs).
• Leverage AI/ML to help users understand approach, and make decisions with GWP data.
