The area: Google.com Engineering

With analytical and code-level troubleshooting abilities to spare, Google.com’s engineers are technology whizzes who love being in the center of the action. We tackle a range of complex software and systems issues, including monitoring, responding to and safeguarding the availability of our most popular services.

The role: Software Engineer, Google.com

Are you part ace coder, part adrenaline junkie? Do you have a knack for seeing a problem and immediately discerning the likely solution? Maybe you’ve been coding for years, are bored with the old design-build-review-test-ship-repeat routine, and yearn for some faster-paced challenges? Or perhaps you’re a seasoned software engineer who is also a genius at jockeying networks and administering UNIX clusters.

We’re looking for top-notch thrill-seeking software engineers to join the Google.com engineering team. Google.com engineers are in the thick of everything involved with keeping Google running, from code-level troubleshooting of service anomalies to safeguarding the availability of our most popular services; from monitoring and response to building new automation infrastructure to balancing the desire for change management with the need for stability. All team members must have strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, fluency in coding, good communication skills, and most of all enthusiasm for tackling the complex problems of scale which are uniquely Google. We tackle challenging, novel situations every day, and work with just about every other engineering and operations team at Google in the process.
In this role you will need:

* Expertise in coding, analyzing and troubleshooting large-scale distributed systems.
* Experience in a high-volume or critical production service environment.
* Strong understanding of IP networking, including the ability to analyze network behavior, performance and application issues using standard tools like tcpdump.

Required Skills:

* 0-15+ years experience.
* 3+ years developing web-based applications.
* Expertise in data structures, algorithms, and complexity analysis.
* Fluency in one or more of: C, C++, Java.
* Fluency in one or more of: Shell, PHP, Perl or Python.
* Ability to handle periodic on-call duty as well as out-of-band requests.
* Solid working knowledge of Unix, preferably Linux.
* Tack-sharp analytical abilities.
* A strong sense of ownership, urgency, and drive.
* Fluent written communication and unusual verbal agility are strong assets.
* SQL experience a plus, MySQL a plus.
* Experience leading short projects involving outside teams is a plus.
* BA/BS in CS, MS or PhD is preferred.
