ABOUT THE JOB:

Google Cloud's software engineers develop the next-generation technologies that
change how billions of users connect, explore, and interact with information and
one another. 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 Cloud's needs with opportunities to switch teams and projects as you and
our fast-paced business grow and evolve. You will anticipate our customer needs
and be empowered to act like an owner, take action and innovate. 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.

The Sequencing team plays a critical role in deploying any change to compute
infrastructure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Trusted Partner Cloud (TPC), or
hybrid environments safely and efficiently through an Application Programming
Interface (API)-first, configurable, extensible, and Artificial Intelligence
(AI)-powered deployment platform. We focus on minimizing change-related outages,
improving developer experience, and enabling concurrent Continuous Deployment
(CD) pipelines to meet business needs.

In this role, you will make the deployments at Google safe, easy, and fast.

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
