About the job

Google's software engineers develop the next-generation technologies that change how billions of users connect, explore, and interact with information and one another. Our products need to handle information at massive scale, and extend well beyond web search. We're looking for engineers who bring fresh ideas from all areas, including information retrieval, distributed computing, large-scale system design, networking and data storage, security, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, UI design and mobile; the list goes on and is growing every day. As a software engineer, you will work on a specific project critical to Google’s needs with opportunities to switch teams and projects as you and our fast-paced business grow and evolve. We need our engineers to be versatile, display leadership qualities and be enthusiastic to take on new problems across the full-stack as we continue to push technology forward.

D is the foundational layer of Google’s storage stack. It is a low-level storage system that stores bytes directly to disk or flash and serves the majority of Google’s data. It is the critical mediation layer between higher-level storage systems and data center management facilities.

We're looking for engineers to help us build and scale this critical distributed control plane. You'll get to rethink how storage capacity is provisioned, isolated, and made available at Google scale.

This is an exciting time in the evolution of Google's core storage architecture, as we strive to maximize the utilization and efficiency of our storage resources fleetwide. By improving how we balance load, manage failure domains, and automate device lifecycles, you'll directly impact the reliability and cost-effectiveness of Google's global storage infrastructure.

Google Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to digitally transform its business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google’s cutting-edge technology, and tools that help developers build more sustainably. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical business problems.
