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.
We are currently involved in a series of dynamic large-scale capacity augments, migrations, and new technology introductions globally.
In this role, you will ensure that the network is efficiently built on-time while meeting our reliability and policy requirements. You will develop network planning and design best practices, processes and tooling. Additionally, you will work with software teams to drive the software automation roadmap to improve the quality and reduce the cycle time for network planning and design.
