The role
From Google's own posting.
Google's software engineers develop the next-generation technologies that change how billions of users connect, explore, and interact with information and one another. Our products need to handle information at massive scale, and extend well beyond web search. 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’s needs with opportunities to switch teams and projects as you and our fast-paced business grow and evolve. 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.
Join the cold storage team in Infra Storage, a newly established initiative dedicated to building the future of cold data storage at Google. Our next-generation archival technology is designed to meet the rising demand for massive-scale, low-cost data preservation while providing high reliability and accessibility when needed. Our mission is to significantly reduce the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) compared to conventional storage, enabling new storage capacity to support massive growth for years to come, and safeguard data from threats such as hardware malfunctions and operational errors.
