Principal Engineer, NetSoft

Job description

info_outline About the job NetSoft team's mission is to enable agile planning, optimized design and rapid deployment for Google's production and corporate networks. We’re central to the design, planning, and delivery of Google's global network infrastructure, which underpins all of Google's services, including Google Cloud. We operate at the intersection of Infrastructure Engineering, Applied Machine Learning, and Operations Research to build intelligent, autonomous systems that enable Google to scale network capacity and delivery timelines multifold.

As a Principal Software Engineer you will be at the core of our NetSoft Planning and delivery optimization efforts, driving the technical vision for how we strategically scale, plan, and efficiently deliver the network. You will be responsible for defining the next generation of platforms utilizing clean-slate-designs that ensure our network meets stringent Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and that our network builds are never the bottleneck to capacity growth.

Google is committed to a massive investment and acceleration of capacity deployment - "go simple, scale fast" is our rallying cry. The complexity and latency requirement of modern ML- training & serving networking, combined with enormous demand growth, creates a unique, career-defining challenge. As a Principal Software Engineer, you will lead efforts that directly impact multi-billion dollars in CapEx and are critical to the success of our Cloud business.
