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.

AlloyDB is an enterprise grade, cloud native, transactional database designed for high availability and performance. It is fully compatible with open source PostgreSQL but has custom Google-built storage and query engines.

In this role, you will be responsible for powering the storage engine in the distributed compute and storage architecture of AlloyDB. As traditional databases are moving into the cloud, we have the opportunity to rethink the fundamental database architecture, through specialized indexing and query engines, query accelerators, AI/ML for statistics and improvement, and other approaches. You will be able to invent and deliver innovations in data management, integrity, and protection to a large set of customers quickly and operate with experienced engineers to keep AlloyDB running smoothly for our customer’s mission critical 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.
