About the jobAs a Staff Software Engineer on the Server RAS team, you will bridge hardware and software across Google's compute fleet. You will apply a first-principles, data-driven approach to eliminate fleet failure modes, maximize availability, and lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
You will drive hardware/software co-design by collaborating with silicon vendors and shaping industry standards. Leveraging your deep expertise at the hardware/software boundary, you will architect advanced CPU, Memory (DDR5 ) and high-speed I/O bus (PCIe, CXL) error-handling mechanisms.
Additionally, you will design fault-tolerant software frameworks to minimize customer impact, partner with platform teams to validate advanced Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS) capabilities, and automate telemetry pipelines for real-time fault isolation.
The AI and Infrastructure team is redefining what's possible. We empower Google customers with breakthrough capabilities and insights by delivering AI and Infrastructure at unparalleled scale, efficiency, reliability and velocity. Our customers include Googlers, Google Cloud customers, and billions of Google users worldwide.
We're the driving force behind Google's groundbreaking innovations, empowering the development of our cutting-edge AI models, delivering unparalleled computing power to global services, and providing the essential platforms that enable developers to build the future. From software to hardware our teams are shaping the future of world-leading hyperscale computing, with key teams working on the development of our TPUs, Vertex AI for Google Cloud, Google Global Networking, Data Center operations, systems research, and much more.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
