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.

These workload classes require different infrastructure properties for optimal hosting and infrastructure could be built and tuned accordingly. In this role, you will lead the development of a classification model that clusters customer workloads into appropriate classes that summarize and express customers' intent, workloads' true constraints, and infrastructure's optimization space. You will work closely with tech leads and product managers developing products managing virtual machines (e.g., Managed Instance Groups, and higher-level offerings) and data scientists, analyzing operational data and optimizing cloud infrastructure. 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. + Analyzing and classifying workload characterizations. + Use AI to optimize obtainability, reliability, and cost in MIGs and other surfaces.
