Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) at Google treats operations as a software problem. Our mission is to progress, protect, and provide for the software and systems behind all of Google's public services—including Search, Ads, Gmail, Android, YouTube, and AppEngine—with an ever-watchful eye on their availability, latency, performance, and capacity.
This role is unique in the industry. Like traditional operations groups, we keep revenue-critical systems running despite challenges like hurricanes, bandwidth outages, and configuration problems. Unlike traditional operations, we also have full access to and authority to fix, extend, and scale the code to keep it working and harden it against the vagaries of the Internet. We hire people from both systems and software backgrounds, and strong candidates will have experience with both.
At Google, we have developed many interesting systems ranging from planet-spanning databases to near real-time scalable data warehousing to fault-tolerant datastream joining. In SRE, we flip between the fine-grained detail of disk driver I/O scheduling to the big picture of continental-level service capacity, across a range of systems and a user population measured in billions. We own those products in production, driving reliability and performance across massive scale by mastering the full depth of the stack. We literally learn something new every day—usually surprising things—that have the potential to transform the lives of billions of our users around the world.
