About the job

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

In this role, you will collaborate with our development partners throughout the product development lifecycle. You will drive projects to bring systems in line with best practices, reducing toil for deployments, preventing outages, making sure these critical systems are observable, maintainable, stable, and fast. You will be on the critical path of web search, ads, identity and other vital systems that directly drive Google's business. Simply put, an outage in SCS or Laelaps is an outage in search.

Responsibilities

• Engage in and improve the whole lifecycle of services—from inception and design through to deployment, operation, and refinement.
• Support services before they go live through activities such as system design consulting, developing software platforms and frameworks, capacity planning, and launch reviews.
  
• Maintain services once they are live by measuring and monitoring availability, latency, and overall system health.
  
• Scale systems sustainably through mechanisms like automation, and evolve systems by pushing for changes that improve reliability and velocity.
  
• Practice sustainable incident response and blameless postmortems.
