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’s needs with opportunities to switch
teams and projects as you and our fast-paced business grow and
evolve. 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. With your
technical expertise you will manage project priorities, deadlines,
and deliverables. You will design, develop, test, deploy, maintain,
and enhance software solutions. The mission of the Virtual IO team
in Google Cloud is to connect our customer VMs to storage in the
most efficient and fast way possible. Every VM in the cloud needs
to connect to storage - from the access to its boot disk to access
high speed low-latency storage. Our team makes that happen by
working with our partners who are building the hardware, providing
guest interfaces leveraging non-volatile memory express (NVMe) and
leading technologies, and working with the unique hardware in our
physical infrastructure. In this role, you will work at the core of
the storage code. 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. The US base salary range for this
full-time position is $207,000-$300,000 bonus equity benefits. Our
salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within
the range, individual pay is determined by work location and
additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and
relevant education or training. Your recruiter can share more about
the specific salary range for your preferred location during the
hiring process. Please note that the compensation details listed in

Responsibilities Provide technical leadership on projects.
Influence and coach a distributed team of engineers. Provide core
connectivity between guests running in GCE and storage - provide
connectivity to both high speed ephemeral storage, and to
replicated network-based storage. Work closely with the teams
building the storage layer, identifying performance bottlenecks and
helping to land impact for our customers. Work with APIs to high
performance network storage across a virtualized interface, and
play a role in the evolution to higher bandwidth and lower
latency.
