Description For Systems Development Engineer III

Google is seeking a Systems Development Engineer III to join their Cloud team, focusing on managing and automating services and systems at scale. This role combines traditional systems engineering with a strong emphasis on automation and tooling development. The position requires expertise in Linux administration, cloud technologies, and container orchestration, particularly with Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE).

As an SDE III, you'll be responsible for creating solutions that address systemic problems, rather than just fixing individual issues. You'll work on implementing observability tools and metrics to transform data into actionable insights. The role involves on-call responsibilities and close collaboration with primary responders to resolve system issues.

The ideal candidate brings 3+ years of experience in systems automation, design, and implementation, along with strong technical infrastructure knowledge. You'll be working with cutting-edge cloud technologies while contributing to Google's mission of enabling digital transformation across industries.

Google offers a competitive compensation package ranging from $122,000 to $178,000, plus bonus, equity, and comprehensive benefits. You'll be part of a diverse, collaborative environment that encourages innovation and risk-taking in a blame-free culture. The role provides opportunities for self-direction while offering support and mentorship for continuous learning and growth.

This position is based in Sunnyvale, CA, where you'll work on critical infrastructure and tools that enable the orchestration of Google-scale services. You'll interact with customers to gather requirements, develop testing procedures, and propose solutions, making a direct impact on Google Cloud's success in serving customers across 200+ countries.

The role combines technical expertise with customer interaction, requiring both strong engineering skills and communication abilities. You'll be part of a team that values operational efficiency and environmental impact, working on meaningful projects that help shape the future of cloud computing and enterprise solutions.
