About the job

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.

In this role, you will lead and manage the team that will focus on the introduction of a new hardware platform for Google's network edge. This would require working closely with internal partner teams, testing teams and vendors. You will ingest the business requirements and convert those requirements into networking requirements, design networks based on the requirements, understand the life cycle of the product, and work with various workflows to accommodate different life cycles of the product.

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
  • Plan a team of individuals, set and communicate individual team priorities that support organizational goals. Meet regularly with individuals to discuss performance and development, and provide feedback and coaching.
  • Drive the quantifiable analysis of measurements, or data and capacity forecast models for making networks more scalable, efficient, and deliver predictable user experience.
  • Evaluate the current inefficiencies, complexities, and flaws in network systems and propose designs, software, and processes to improve them.
  • Develop software that improves the performance, safety, transparency, and manageability of network systems.
  • Mentor, coach, and empower a team of talented Software Engineers, fostering an environment of collaboration, innovation, and excellence.
