Description

Google is proud to boast a network that provides service to millions of Internet users around the world. The Network Engineering team is responsible for operating that network reliably and at scale. As a member of the team, you have a direct impact on design and feature enhancements to keep our systems running smoothly. You also ensure that network operations are safe and efficient by monitoring network performance, coordinating planned maintenance, adjusting hardware components and responding to network connectivity issues. Google's complex network generates a constant stream of challenges which require you to continually be innovative with an evolving set of technologies. Keeping the network reliable ensures that our users stay connected with our suite of applications, products and services.

As a Network Engineer on the Global Internet Edge team, you will help develop Google's interface to the Internet. You will work on conceptualizing, prototyping, testing, integrating, staging, piloting, making generally available, maintaining, and decommissioning the fundamental network architectures and software systems relating to the internet edge of Google’s global network.

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

• Engage and improve the life cycle of networks from inception and design, to qualification and validation, through deployment, operation and optimization.
  
• Work with networking vendors to deliver new features, define new features, identify and fix bugs. Define new open configuration models, work with vendors to adopt these models and deliver them.
  
• Scale systems sustainably through mechanisms like automation, and evolve systems by pushing for changes that improve reliability and velocity. 
  
• Work with other team members and groups to analyze requirements or potential problems and develop solutions and policy recommendations.
  
• Partner with Google’s internal application groups and design network infrastructure which meets their networking requirements.
