info_outline About the job 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. With your technical expertise you will manage project priorities, deadlines, and deliverables.
You will design, develop, test, deploy, maintain, and enhance software solutions.
Mission
To redefine the boundaries of cloud efficiency and security by evolving the virtualization layer for Technical Infrastructure (TI). By investing in Cloud Hypervisor (CHV) as our primary Rust-based Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM), we aim to provide a streamlined, reduced-surface-area environment for creating VMs on TI hosts. Beyond the VMM, we are deepening our focus on hardware-level isolation and I/O performance. This includes sophisticated IOMMU (Input-Output Memory Management Unit) integration to secure DMA and interrupt remapping, ensuring hardware devices remain strictly confined to guest-specific memory regions.
We are building a virtualization stack that maximizes density and security without compromising on near-native execution speeds. 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.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
