About the job
Google is more than a software company, its massive digital ecosystem relies heavily on physical architecture built and sustained by the Technical Infrastructure team. As a Server Operations Manager, you will lead a dedicated team of Data Center Technicians tasked with monitoring, maintaining, and deploying the infrastructure that powers Google's search technology and global product portfolio. In this role, you will directly oversee the high-quality installation and configuration of server hardware, components, and specialized server software, including Google's customized Linux cluster.
Your leadership will extend beyond routine maintenance to managing complex installations and technical troubleshooting. Under your guidance, the team will manage intricate networking infrastructure, configuring essential components like routers, hubs, bridges, switches, and various networking protocols. Additionally, technicians may lead small, dedicated project teams during hardware installations and develop comprehensive project contingency plans to mitigate potential downtime.
As a part of the Technical Infrastructure team, you will operate with an engineering-first mindset, priding themselves on being "our engineers' engineers." You will grow on taking systems apart to rebuild them better, constantly pushing boundaries from initial data center development to engineering next-generation platforms. Your team is responsible for keeping Google's networks up, running, and completely secure. By ensuring maximum hardware efficiency and seamless system performance, you play a vital role in providing millions of global users with the fastest and most reliable experience possible online.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
