following: Raleigh, NC, USA; Durham, NC, USA . Minimum

experience with software development in one or more programming
languages. Preferred qualifications: Master's degree in Computer
Science or Engineering. 2 years of experience designing, analyzing,

Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) is what you get when you treat
operations as if it’s a software problem. Our mission is to
progress, protect, and provide for the software and systems behind
all of Google’s public services - Search, Ads, Gmail, Android,
YouTube, and AppEngine, to name just a few - with an ever-watchful
eye on their availability, latency, performance, and capacity. This
is an unusual job, unlike others in the industry. Like traditional
operations groups, we keep important, revenue-critical systems up
and running despite hurricanes, bandwidth outages, and
configuration problems . Unlike traditional operations groups, we
also have full access to and authority to fix, extend, and scale
the code to keep it working and harden it against all the vagaries
of the Internet. We hire people from both systems and software
backgrounds. Strong candidates will have experience with both. Just
as what we do is unique, where we do it is unique too. At Google,
we have the good fortune to have developed many interesting systems
ranging from planet-spanning databases to near real-time scalable
data warehousing to fault-tolerant datastream joining . In SRE, we
flip between the fine-grained detail of disk driver I/O scheduling
to the big picture of continental-level service capacity, across a
range of systems and a user population measured in billions. We own
those products in production. We drive reliability and performance
across massive scale by mastering the full depth of the stack. We
literally do learn something new every day - usually surprising
things - that have the potential to transform the lives of billions
of our users around the world. The US base salary range for this
full-time position is $147,000-$211,000 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. Please note that the compensation details listed in
US role postings reflect the base salary only, and do not include
bonus, equity, or benefits. Learn more about benefits at Google .
Responsibilities Write product or system development code. Review
code developed by other engineers 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. Triage product or system issues and
debug/track/resolve by analyzing the sources of issues and the
impact on hardware, network, or service operations and quality.
Participate in, or lead design reviews with peers and stakeholders
to decide amongst available technologies.
