More:

Site Reliability Engineering combines software and systems engineering to build and operate large-scale, distributed, fault-tolerant systems. At Google, we work to ensure our services have reliability and uptime appropriate to users needs while improving them quickly. We monitor system capacity and performance, optimize existing systems, build infrastructure, and eliminate work through automation. Our SRE culture values intellectual curiosity, problem solving, openness, collaboration, and risk-taking in a blame-free environment. We encourage self-direction on meaningful projects and provide support and mentorship to help people learn and grow. The ML Compute SRE team delivers ML compute infrastructure for all users, ensuring that TPUs and GPUs are supported across our Technical Infrastructure and Cloud Compute platforms and that ML jobs run efficiently, safely, and reliably. We support the hardware and low-level services that provide ML as an IaaS. Our Technical Infrastructure team builds and maintains data centers, networks, and platforms that make Googles products possible. In most instances, we conduct in-person interviews as part of the hiring process.
