ABOUT THE JOB

• Site Reliability Development combines software and systems development to build
• and run large-scale, massively distributed, fault-tolerant systems. Site
• Reliability Development ensures that Google's services—both our internally
• critical and our externally-visible systems—have reliability, uptime appropriate
• to users' needs and a fast rate of improvement. Additionally Site Reliability
• Developers will keep an ever-watchful eye on our systems capacity and
• performance. Much of our software development focuses on optimizing existing
• systems, building infrastructure and eliminating work through automation.

• On the Site Reliability Development team, you’ll have the opportunity to manage
• the complex challenges of scale which are unique to Google, while using your
• expertise in coding, algorithms, complexity analysis and large-scale system
• design.

• Site Reliability Development's culture of intellectual curiosity, problem
• solving and openness is key to its success. Our organization 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.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• * Engage in and improve the whole lifecycle of services—from inception and
• design, through to deployment, operation and refinement.
• * Support services before they go live through activities such as system design
• consulting, developing software platforms and frameworks, capacity planning
• and launch reviews.
• * Maintain services once they are live by measuring and monitoring
• availability, latency and overall system health.
• * Scale systems sustainably through mechanisms like automation, and evolve
• systems by pushing for changes that improve reliability and velocity.
• * Practice sustainable incident response and blameless postmortems.
