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.

This team develops software to optimize the design, planning, deployment, and decommissioning of cluster layouts for Google data centers. Our fleet consumes as much power as the entire city of San Francisco, so we're handling a number of fun, open-ended, and challenging problems to optimize rack placement, reduce our environmental impact, and save Google money.
In this role, you will drive the planning to deploy all the machine racks and network racks across our data centers. You will be responsible for efficiently deploying these resources in the optimal configuration for our customers across various product areas (YouTube, Search, Ads, etc.) at Alphabet and for all our external customers supported by Google Cloud. Additionally, you will use AI to automate rack placement at Google's data centers.

Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
US: $174000 - $252000 (USD) + 15% bonus target + equity + benefits
