Network Automation Engineer, Global Network Operations

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 3 years of experience with network routing protocols, design and troubleshooting, with network equipment providers.
• Experience in one or more programming languages such as C++, Go, or Python.
• Experience in developing and maintaining software services, tools and automation frameworks that analyze and troubleshoot global-scale core networks (IP backbone and optical network) and their supporting systems.

Nice to haves:

• Experience with planning and designing large scale networks (e.g., multiple sites, multiple products, etc.).
• Knowledge of IP backbone (e.g., routing protocols, IP addressing, management and control planes, etc.) and optical network (e.g., DWDM, OTN, coherent transceiver, etc.).
• Ability to write SQL scripts and query complex data structures to retrieve network and process diagnostic information.

What you'll be doing:

• Drive the quantifiable analysis of measurements, or data and capacity forecast models for making networks more scalable, efficient, and deliver predictable user experience.
• Evaluate the current inefficiencies, complexities, and flaws in network systems, and propose designs, software, and processes to improve them.
• Drive automation of the life-cycle of the Google global core network repair with minimum human interactions so we could reduce the Mean Time To Repair (MTTR), human error and operational cost.
• Build and leverage other repair automation infrastructures from partner software engineering teams to complement and consolidate our own network repair automation stack.
• Operationalize new core network technology so they could be introduced to production for Google to take advantage of next generation features, lower cost per byte and spectrum efficiency.

Perks and benefits:

• Opportunity to work with a mix of global core network engineering and software development to build software solutions and introduce technology which impactfully improve the Google network reliability and operational cost.
• An innovative environment with an evolving set of technologies and challenges in network operations.
• Proud to be an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer, creating a culture of belonging.
• Global company providing English proficiency requirement for all roles.
