fleet, partnering across 300+ engineers in Platforms Infrastructure Engineering,

Global Data Center Operations, SRE, and Cloud.

In this role, you will deliver intelligent software and operations platforms

that power Google’s planet-scale data center fleet accelerating capacity from

dock to quota while maximizing uptime, power utilization, and operational

efficiency.

As a part of the Data Center Software Product team, you will build the

foundational software and operations platforms that power Google’s planet-scale

data centers. You will sit at the intersection of AI and Compute Enablement,

Platforms Infrastructure Engineering, and Global Data Center Operations, manage
