The ideal candidate will have strong experience with Linux operating systems, cloud computing environments, and infrastructure automation. You'll be part of a diverse team that encourages collaboration, innovation, and risk-taking in a blame-free environment.

You'll work with state-of-the-art technology and contribute to projects that directly influence Google's infrastructure efficiency. The company's commitment to diversity, equal opportunity, and creating a culture of belonging makes it an attractive workplace for professionals seeking meaningful technical challenges.

This role combines technical expertise with strategic thinking, requiring both hands-on engineering skills and the ability to architect solutions for complex infrastructure challenges. You'll be part of a team that values innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement, working on projects that have a direct impact on Google's global infrastructure.
