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.
We are Google Cloud Storage (GCS), the foundational object storage service for Google's cloud. This is a planet-scale distributed storage system that manages exabytes of user data, trillions of objects, petabytes of traffic, and millions of queries per second. This massively distributed service supports major global AI, consumer, and enterprise companies, as well as numerous startups, and is a key business driver for Google Cloud.
Storage Transfer Service (STS) is a fully managed Google Cloud service designed for transferring large datasets, potentially petabyte-scale, from various cloud storage sources (e.g., S3, GCS, HTTP) to GCS.
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.
