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 don’t just write code to fix bugs, but emphasize the development of tools and solutions that fix classes of problems. We know it’s hard to control what you can’t 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.

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, test, and maintain systems and services, driving the development of utilities with a degree of autonomy.
• Maintain technical knowledge in Identity and Access Management (IAM) space, serving as a consultant and technical lead for identity-related initiatives.
• Identify and resolve operational issues and user productivity issues by developing automated solutions and continuous process improvements.
• Collaborate with teams to architect solutions that improve the security posture and efficiency of global Identity and Access Management (IAM) operations.
• Partner with security engineers to plan, execute infrastructure changes that impact the global workforce, ensuring seamless transitions and security. Participate in on‑call rotation, providing guidance and resolution for technical escalations from the support team.
