Software Engineer II, MIG AI/ML Infrastructure

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 GCE Managed Infrastructure organization contributes to the GCE control plane layer that manages Virtual Machines' (VMs) lifecycles in Google Cloud Platform (GCP). We translate API calls that our users and clients make to GCE into operations orchestrated across multiple cloud services, delivering the machines and making sure their behavior follows the demand, schedules and constraints. We also build Managed Instance Groups (MIG) for running clusters of VMs in a unified way, with capabilities like autohealing, autoscaling, or auto-updating.

The MIG AI/ML Infrastructure team concentrates on Managed Instance Group work supporting new accelerator (TPU, GPU) VM families and features in order to fulfill the massive computational needs of AI/ML workloads.

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.
