About the job Systems Development Engineering (SDE) at Google is a role where you manage services and systems at scale. SDEs creatively put their engineering discipline to use automating the mundane and reducing toil. We dont just write code to fix bugs, but emphasize the development of tools and solutions that fix classes of problems. We know its hard to control what you cant measure so we focus on observability: instrumenting first, then turning data into knowledge, and finally knowledge into action. We know that the operational efficiency of Google systems, services, virtual compute environments and the operating systems that power them impact the environment, not just the bottom line. We know that working together we can do more, and that community matters. Google brings together people with a wide variety of backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. We encourage them to collaborate, think big and take risks in a blame free environment. We promote self direction to work on meaningful projects, while we also strive to create an environment that provides the support and mentorship needed to learn and grow. Together we engineer and build the infrastructure, tools, access and telemetry for systems that enable orchestration of Google scale services. Come build things that matter.
