Google is seeking a Systems Development Engineer to join their team in Munich, Germany. This mid-level role focuses on managing services and systems at scale for Google Distributed Cloud Hosted (GDCH), a private cloud offering. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in systems automation, networking, and infrastructure management.

As a Systems Development Engineer, you'll be responsible for deploying GDCH solutions at customer sites and internal reference deployments. You'll work with public documentation to gain hands-on experience with the same resources customers use, identifying and reporting product bugs and usability issues before they impact clients. Your role will involve troubleshooting infrastructure issues, participating in customer and partner activations, and contributing to a 24x7 on-call rotation for support escalations.

Key responsibilities include managing GDCH, determining appropriate actions for identified issues, collecting and analyzing feedback, and communicating findings to development teams. You'll also play a crucial role in product improvement by building and monitoring key metrics, identifying trends, and reporting on the impact of internal activations and operations.

The ideal candidate will have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field, along with 3 years of experience in TCP/IP networking concepts and systems automation. Proficiency in scripting languages like Bash, Perl, Python, or Ruby is essential, as is experience with infrastructures such as Linux, Kubernetes, Networking, or Storage. Due to the sensitive nature of this role, candidates must be able to obtain and maintain a Level 2 security clearance (SÜ2) under the German Classification Act.

Join Google's Systems Development Engineering team to work on meaningful projects that impact the efficiency and sustainability of Google's systems and services. You'll be part of a diverse and collaborative environment that encourages innovation, risk-taking, and personal growth. If you're passionate about technology, problem-solving, and delivering high-quality user experiences, this role offers an exciting opportunity to make a significant impact in the world of cloud computing and infrastructure management.
