Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) combines software and systems engineering to build and run large‑scale, massively distributed, fault‑tolerant systems. The SRE team ensures that Google Cloud’s services—both internally critical and externally visible—maintain reliability, uptime appropriate to customer needs, and continuous improvement. SREs also monitor system capacity and performance.

In this role you will manage the complex challenges of scale unique to Google Cloud while applying expertise in coding, algorithms, complexity analysis, and large‑scale system design. You will lead a small team, foster a culture of curiosity and open problem‑solving, and enable the team to take ownership of meaningful projects.

Key responsibilities include:

• Managing the scale and availability of next–generation Workspace GenAI features in collaboration with the Workspace AI SRE team, ensuring model‑based features remain fast, reliable, and degrade gracefully under load.
• Operating a newly partitioned Spanner storage topology, completing physical isolation of Spanner allocations per Editor and shard, and managing elastic resource capacity through autoscaling.
• Orchestrating large‑scale, multi‑system restore operations for critical customer data, contributing to tools and playbooks that coordinate data recovery across dependencies, validate data correctness, and restore integrity after complex platform incidents.
• Directing the resource headroom and efficiency roadmap for the Editors portfolio.
