About the job
Google's software engineers develop the next-generation technologies that change how billions of users connect, explore, and interact with information and one another. Our products need to handle information at massive scale, and extend well beyond web search. We're looking for engineers who bring fresh ideas from all areas, including information retrieval, distributed computing, large-scale system design, networking and data storage, security, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, UI design and mobile; the list goes on and is growing every day. As a software engineer, you will work on a specific project critical to Google’s needs with opportunities to switch teams and projects as you and our fast-paced business grow and evolve. We need our engineers to be versatile, display leadership qualities and be enthusiastic to take on new problems across the full-stack as we continue to push technology forward.
With your technical expertise you will manage project priorities, deadlines, and deliverables. You will design, develop, test, deploy, maintain, and enhance software solutions.
Network Insights develops software that empowers users to navigate and dissect massive volumes of networking data. Our innovations enable the extraction of critical signals from overwhelming noise, proactively preventing outages, and elevating the overall quality and reliability of Google's network for billions of users worldwide. Our mission is critical to decisively minimise the impact of network impairments on all Google customers. This involves a dynamic approach to analysing network signals, pinpointing anomalies, and automatically diagnosing the root causes of outages. This testing and rewarding role demands an effective combination of software engineering experience and a data-problem-solving mindset.
