We are partnering directly with Google to hire for our Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team. Our ML Compute SRE teams mission is to deliver ML compute infrastructure for all users, ensuring that ML accelerators such as TPUs and GPUs are fully and appropriately supported across our TI and Cloud Compute platforms and that all ML jobs run efficiently, safely and reliably. We support both the hardware and low-level services that provide ML as an IaaS. Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by our Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. We develop and maintain our data centers, build the next generation of Google platforms, and keep our networks up and running so users have the best and fastest experience possible. We foster an environment of intellectual curiosity, problem solving, openness, collaboration, self-direction, mentorship, and blame-free learning, and in most instances this role requires in-person interviews as part of the hiring process.
