Senior Software Engineer, Data Center Construction/operations

Google Google · Big Tech · Sunnyvale, CA +1

This role is for a Senior Software Engineer on the AI and Infrastructure team at Google, focusing on data center construction and operations. While the team works on AI and infrastructure at scale, the core responsibilities of this specific role involve traditional software development, including writing and testing code, design reviews, code reviews, documentation, and debugging system issues. The role requires experience in full-stack development and software design/architecture, but does not involve building or shipping AI models directly.

What you'd actually do

  1. Write and test product or system development code.
  2. Participate in, or lead design reviews with peers and stakeholders to decide amongst available technologies.
  3. Review code developed by other developers and provide feedback to ensure best practices (e.g., style guidelines, checking code in, accuracy, testability, and efficiency).
  4. Contribute to existing documentation or educational content and adapt content based on product/program updates and user feedback.
  5. Triage product or system issues and debug/track/resolve by analyzing the sources of issues and the impact on hardware, network, or service operations and quality.
