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 Hybrid Cloud Storage team is focused on making it possible for customers to run all their applications, including those that require persistent data storage, in containers managed by Kubernetes, on any Anthos platform. This means customers can run these applications not only on Google Cloud Platform, but also in their own data centers and on other cloud providers. Kubernetes is a powerful tool that simplifies the deployment and management of containerized applications. While containers are becoming increasingly popular, they are often used for applications that don't need to store data. Many critical applications, like databases and message queues, do require persistent storage. To help customers run these stateful applications in containers, we're developing enterprise-grade data protection services for Kubernetes.

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.
