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.As a key member of a small and versatile team, you design, test, deploy and maintain software solutions.

As a leading cloud provider, Google hosts vast amounts of diverse workloads, from serving to batch, from standard compute to tuning ML models to large-scale ML training. These workload classes require different infrastructure properties for optimal hosting and infrastructure could be built and tuned accordingly.

In this role, you will lead the development of a classification model that clusters customer workloads into appropriate classes that summarize and express customers' intent, workloads' true constraints, and infrastructure's optimization space. You will work closely with tech leads and product managers developing products managing virtual machines (e.g., Managed Instance Groups, and higher-level offerings) and data scientists, analyzing operational data and optimizing cloud 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.
