JOB IS FROM: italents.netVIEW

In this role, you will manage a team of software test engineers who build these end to end tests and the software infrastructure to operate them. You will identify the systems, interactions and processes that most need for this testing assurance, and measure the improvements to systems availability and performance of your implemented testing regimes.

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.
