About The Job

Google is proud to boast a network that provides service to millions of Internet users around the world. The Network Engineering team is responsible for operating that network reliably and at scale. As a member of the team, you have a direct impact on design and feature enhancements to keep our systems running smoothly. You also ensure that network operations are safe and efficient by monitoring network performance, coordinating planned maintenance, adjusting hardware components and responding to network connectivity issues. Google’s complex network generates a constant stream of challenges which require you to continually be innovative with an evolving set of technologies. Keeping the network reliable ensures that our users stay connected with our suite of applications, products and services.

In this role, you’ll be accountable for allocating resources to achieve infrastructure build objectives and Service Level Agreements (SLAs). By maintaining the highest level of data integrity of the infrastructure, you’ll be responsible for driving the operations and automations in your metro. You will also become the point of contact for stakeholder and customer requests in relation to network infrastructure and service readiness.

Additionally, you will be on the forefront of our efforts to deploy and maintain data networks worldwide. You’ll work with Network Architects, Design Engineers, Infrastructure Engineers, Field Engineers, Strategic Negotiators, and Technical Project Managers to grow and maintain the metro in which you are resident. You’ll drive greater efficiency and facilitate increased value-add for Google’s network.

Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google’s product portfolio possible. We’re proud to be our engineers’ engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.

Responsibilities

• Position all resources to deliver network infrastructure projects, service orders, repairs, and maintenance tickets on time or within SLA.
• Manage and maintain assets, tools, test equipment and consumable inventories to position local infrastructure build teams for meeting their objectives.
• Advocate continuous process improvements and work with teams to drive down unit cost and increase value-add for our end-users, customers, and stakeholders.
• Coordinate with engineering, network planners, acquisition negotiators, and local neutral colocation providers to ensure all fire, security, power, HVAC, and other critical systems are periodically tested and maintained.
