Are you part ace coder, part adrenalin junkie? Do you have a knack for
seeing a problem and immediately discerning the likely solution? Maybe
you've been coding for years, are bored with the old
design-build-review-test-ship-repeat routine, and yearn for some
faster-paced challenges? Or perhaps you're a seasoned software engineer
who is also a genius at jockeying networks and administering UNIX
clusters. 

We're looking for top-notch thrill seeking, software engineers to join
the Google.com team. Google.com engineers are in the thick of everything
involved with keeping Google running, from code-level troubleshooting of
traffic anomalies to maintenance of our most cutting edge services; from
monitoring and alerts to building new automation infrastructure. We are
aggressively building this elite team of high level engineers in this
mission critical environment. All team members must have strong
analytical and troubleshooting skills, fluency in coding, good
communication skills, and most of all enthusiasm for tackling the
complex problems of scale which are uniquely Google. Google.com
engineers tackle challenging, novel situations every day, and work with
just about every other engineering and operations team in the process. 

Qualifications: 

Strong programming/scripting skills in any of the following: C, C++,
Java, Perl, Python. 
Senior Level experience with Unix system administration. 
Strong understanding of networking; understanding of how to isolate,
diagnose, and resolve service delivery components (service delivery
components include servers, networks, and applications); be familiar
with the functionality, operating, and failure modes of key networking
devices (routers, switches, bridges, firewalls, hardware load
balancers); be able to identify networking as the potential cause of a
service issue using server-resident tools to generate this data
(tcpdump, ping, traceroute, etc.); familiarity in interpreting the
output of these tools; familiarity with common network topologies,
protocols, and tools; have some notion of common network security
exploits -- and their remedies; understanding of troubleshooting at the
packet level. Strong project management skills, especially in deploying
live end-user systems. 
In-depth knowledge of Unix (preferably Linux), and shell scripting. 
Proven technical troubleshooting experience. 
Excellent analytic ability, strong communication skills, and a strong
sense of urgency. 
Ability to handle periodic on-call duty as well as out-of-band
requests. 6-15+ years experience for Senior SWE position, or 3-8 years
experience for SWE position. 
BA/BS in CS, or equivalent experience.
