About the job
Google is proud to boast a network that provides service to millions of Internet users around the world. The Network Engineering team is responsible for operating that network reliably and at scale. As a member of the team, you have a direct impact on design and feature enhancements to keep our systems running smoothly. You also ensure that network operations are safe and efficient by monitoring network performance, coordinating planned maintenance, adjusting hardware components and responding to network connectivity issues. Google's complex network generates a constant stream of challenges which require you to continually be innovative with an evolving set of technologies. Keeping the network reliable ensures that our users stay connected with our suite of applications, products and services.
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.Responsibilities
- Lead the stipulation and documentation of architectural policy and standards across different layers of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) stack (e.g., L0-L1 mapping, L1-L3 striping rules, etc.). Work cross-functionally to ensure alignment across product, technology, software engineering, and business teams.
- Drive the development and implementation of hardware life-cycle policies to minimize Excess and Obsolescence (E&O) while balancing the introduction of new technology to support new functionality, scaling, and unit cost reduction.
- Develop methodologies to capture architectural and hardware policies in a machine-readable format for consistent and wide integration across the Global Geospatial Network (GGN) stack.
- Run designs and have an automated verification to ensure executability for a given design.
