About the Job

Google Cloud's software engineers develop the next-generation technologies that change how billions of users connect, explore, and interact with information and one another. 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 Cloud's needs with opportunities to switch teams and projects as you and our fast-paced business grow and evolve. You will anticipate our customer needs and be empowered to act like an owner, take action and innovate. 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.

The entire IT industry is moving to the cloud, and cloud networking products are a true enabler that connects and secures Google Cloud. Such a global software network, which continues to evolve at a rapid pace, would not be possible without exceptional tools and infrastructure to deliver it with high quality, scale, and release velocity. One of the great benefits of this team is that it provides the full cloud networking stack exposure that would not be otherwise provided by working on a single software-defined networking component.

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.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.

US: $123,000 - $174,000 (USD) + 15% bonus target + equity + benefits
