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.

As a Data Center Technician for our Google Cloud region, your duties range from

the physical deployment of technology to working closely with various

stakeholders. You will ensure that our goals, missions and projects are

successfully delivered, and, more importantly, that they are repeatable across

our global array of data centers. A typical day involves movement and

installation of equipment, and while it can sometimes be physically demanding,

you will work with computer technology to ensure quality and reliability.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

* Install, configure, test, troubleshoot, and repair advanced server hardware

and server software.

* Manage and set up complex network components, including routers, bridges, and

switches.

* Lead or contribute to local installation projects, create contingency plans,

and collaborate with stakeholders.

* Ensure mission goals and deployments are reliably executed and repeatable

across Google's global data center network.

* Manage equipment movement and installation to uphold data center quality and

operational uptime.
