Description For Systems Development Engineer

Google is seeking a Systems Development Engineer to join their team working on Google Distributed Cloud Hosted (GDCH), a private cloud offering. This role combines systems engineering, automation, and customer-facing responsibilities to ensure the successful deployment and operation of GDCH solutions.

As a Systems Development Engineer at Google, you'll be at the forefront of managing services and systems at scale. The role emphasizes automation, tool development, and creating solutions that address systemic problems rather than just fixing individual issues. You'll work with cutting-edge technology while focusing on observability, instrumentation, and turning data into actionable insights.

The position requires strong technical expertise in systems automation, networking concepts, and infrastructure management. You'll be responsible for deploying GDCH solutions at customer sites and internal reference deployments, troubleshooting complex infrastructure issues, and participating in a 24x7 on-call rotation to support escalations.

What makes this role unique is its blend of technical depth and customer interaction. You'll not only manage complex systems but also collect and analyze feedback, communicate findings to development teams, and contribute to product improvement. The role offers the opportunity to work with Google's innovative technology while having a direct impact on customer experience and product development.

Google offers an environment that encourages collaboration, risk-taking, and self-direction, while providing the support and mentorship needed for professional growth. You'll be part of a diverse team that brings together people with various backgrounds and perspectives, all working together to build infrastructure and tools that matter at Google scale.

The ideal candidate will have strong technical skills in systems engineering, excellent problem-solving abilities, and strong communication skills. This role offers the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technology while contributing to the success of Google's cloud offerings and making a significant impact on how customers deploy and utilize Google's distributed cloud solutions.
