About the job

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. 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.

Managed Service for Apache Spark enables open source data analytics users (Apache Hadoop, Spark, Presto, Flink, etc.) to lift and modernize their workloads into the cloud. It is a fast, easy-to-use, fully managed cloud service for running Apache Spark, Apache Hadoop and dozens of other OSS softwares in a simpler, performant and cost-efficient way. Operations that take hours or days now complete in seconds or minutes, and the customer pays only for the resources they use (with per-second billing). Managed Service for Apache Spark also easily integrates with other Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services like BigQuery, Dataplex (governance, lineage), Catalogs/Meta stores to give a powerful and complete platform for data processing, analytics, and machine learning.

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.
