About the job
In this role, you will be responsible for the Operating System that runs Google, from the Kernel through the Node userspace. The Agentic Engineering team within CoreOS is driving the AI revolution into how we work, test, release, and support compute across Production. This team is 25% exploration, 50% agentic engineering, 25% productionization - but top to bottom revolutionary in providing fast turn-around developing critical services that could only be possible via AI.
Responsibilities
Drive projects by conceptualizing and validating novel AI-driven strategies to optimize Google’s "Node-level" engineering and global compute performance.
Lead, coach, and influence a distributed team of 3-5 Kernel, Node OS, and AI experts, fostering a culture of rapid execution.
Design, develop, and maintain large-scale software solutions, ensuring alignment on goals and timelines across cross-functional teams.
Debug, fix, and optimize complex issues while staying current with upstream practices to ensure non-disruptive rollouts across the fleet.
Build tools and dashboards to monitor production demand and quality, implementing testing to minimize production issues.
