Development Engineering (SDE) at Google is a role where you manage
services and systems at scale. SDEs creatively put their
engineering discipline to use automating the mundane and reducing
toil. We don’t just write code to fix bugs, but emphasize the
development of tools and solutions that fix classes of problems. We
know it’s hard to control what you can’t measure – so we focus on
observability: instrumenting first, then turning data into
knowledge, and finally knowledge into action. We know that the
operational efficiency of Google systems, services, virtual compute
environments and the operating systems that power them impact the
environment, not just the bottom line. We know that working
together we can do more, and that community matters. Google brings
together people with a wide variety of backgrounds, experiences and
perspectives. We encourage them to collaborate, think big and take
risks in a blame-free environment. We promote self-direction to
work on meaningful projects, while we also strive to create an
environment that provides the support and mentorship needed to
learn and grow. Together we engineer and build the infrastructure,
tools, access and telemetry for systems that enable orchestration
of Google-scale services. Come build things that matter. 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. The US base salary range for this full-time position is
$192,000-$278,000 bonus equity benefits. Our salary ranges are
determined by role, level, and location. Within the range,
individual pay is determined by work location and additional
factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant
education or training. Your recruiter can share more about the
specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring
