Software Engineer III, Infrastructure, CNS2 Replication

Expected, C++

About the project, 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., , The Replication team (also known as Placer team) owns Placer product and CNS2 Asynchronous Replication area, currently being under active development., , Placer is a low-overhead system service that manages replication of and access to sets of CNS files., , CNS is Google's internal, cluster-level, exabyte-scale filesystem. Used by teams like Youtube, BigQuery and Search. It is a critical building block of Google services. CNS2 is a new generation of CNS with a location-agnostic namespace, native data replication, transparent tiering and flexible regional placement policies, among other features., , Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible., , Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.

Your responsibilities, Design, develop, and test robust, scalable, and high-performance software for our distributed storage system, primarily using C++., Contribute to the technical design and implementation of new features and significant system improvements., Analyze and improve the efficiency, reliability, and performance of the storage system., Debug and resolve complex issues in large-scale distributed environments, including those in production, often in collaboration with SRE teams., Write high-quality, maintainable, and well-tested code, and participate actively in code reviews.

Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience., 2 years of experience with software development or 1 year of experience with an advanced degree in an industry setting., 2 years of experience with developing large-scale infrastructure, distributed systems or networks, or experience with compute technologies, storage or hardware architecture.

Optional, Master's degree or PhD in Computer Science or related technical fields., Experience programming using C++., Experience in building, and operating large-scale distributed systems., Experience with performance analysis, tuning, and optimization of complex systems., Understanding of distributed systems concepts (e.g., consistency, fault tolerance, replication, partitioning)., Familiarity with the internals of storage systems, file systems, or databases.
