About the job

Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) is an engineering discipline that combines software and systems engineering to build and run large-scale, massively distributed, fault-tolerant systems. SRE ensures that Google's services—both our internally critical and our externally-visible systems—have reliability and uptime appropriate to users' needs and a fast rate of improvement while keeping an ever-watchful eye on capacity and performance.

SRE is also a mindset and a set of engineering approaches to running better production systems—we build our own creative engineering solutions to operations problems. Much of our software development focuses on optimizing existing systems, building infrastructure and eliminating work through automation. As SREs are responsible for the big picture of how our systems relate to each other, we use a breadth of tools and approaches to solve a broad spectrum of problems. Practices such as limiting time spent on operational work, blameless postmortems and proactive identification of potential outages factor into iterative improvement that is key to both product quality and interesting and dynamic day-to-day work.

SRE's culture of diversity, intellectual curiosity, problem solving and openness is key to its success. Our organization brings together people with a wide variety of backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. We encourage them to collaborate, think big and take risks in a blame-free environment. We promote self-direction to work on meaningful projects, while we also strive to create an environment that provides the support and mentorship needed to learn and grow.

Velocity of innovation in Google in Networking space is very fast because of the demand from the Cloud and the cool Google Products like Search, YouTube, Ads, Gmail etc. We are helping move the industry forward with many technologies like SDN, OpenFlow, P4, Espresso, Data Center Networking. You will play a key role in this rapidly-growing area.

As a Site Reliability Manager, you will lead a team of highly talented individuals who are responsible for this massive global network. Although you have management experience, you are relentlessly technical and capable of performing the role of any engineer. The ability to communicate well is crucial and you will manage multiple initiatives with multiple engineers potentially across multiple time zones in order to achieve Google’s reliability and efficiency goals.

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're always on call to keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.

Responsibilities

  • Lead a team or teams of software and systems engineers on projects used and enjoyed by billions of users worldwide and be directly responsible for Google's stellar uptime record.
  • Manage end-to-end availability and performance of mission critical services and build automation to prevent problem recurrence. Eventually automate response to all non-exceptional service conditions.
  • Lead by example, care for your team, and establish credibility with the quality of your own and your team's technical execution.
  • Manage on-call rotations across continents, using a follow-the-sun model.
  • Design, write and deliver software to improve the availability, scalability, latency, and efficiency of Google's services.

Though Google has grown a lot since it opened in 1998, we still maintain a small company feel. At lunchtime, almost everyone eats in the office café, sitting at whatever table has an opening and enjoying conversations with Googlers from different teams. Our commitment to innovation depends on everyone being comfortable sharing ideas and opinions. Every employee is a hands-on contributor, and everyone wears several hats. Because we believe that each Googler is an equally important part of our success, no one hesitates to pose questions directly to anyone, at any level, in the company.
