ABOUT THE JOB:

Google isn't just a software company. The Hardware Operations team is

responsible for monitoring the state-of-the-art physical infrastructure behind

Google's powerful search technology. As an Operations Technician, you'll

install, configure, test, troubleshoot and maintain hardware (like servers and

its components) and server software (like Google's Linux cluster). You'll also

take on the configuration of more complex components such as networks, routers,

hubs, bridges, switches and networking protocols. You'll participate in or lead

small project teams on larger installations and develop project contingency

plans. A typical day involves manual movement and installation of racks, and

while it can sometimes be physically demanding, you are excited to work with

infrastructure that is at the cutting-edge of computer technology.

It is a requirement of the position that you obtain or currently hold a valid

Reliability Status screening from the Government of Canada. Please note that

information provided to the Canadian Government in connection with the screening

is not affiliated/shared with Google. Evidence of the completed screening will

be required to be provided directly by you to Google upon the start of your

employment, and will not otherwise be shared with Google by the Government of

Canada. The level of security screening required may change during employment to

meet Google’s current business needs. Failure to obtain or maintain the

appropriate clearance and/or customer screening requirements will make you

ineligible for the position, which may result in the frustration of your

employment and action up to and including termination.

users have the best and fastest experience possible.

experience, and relevant education or training.
