# Description: Software Engineer, Google.com -New York This position is
  available in New York.

  Are you part ace coder, part adrenaline junkie? Do you have a knack
  for seeing a problem and immediately discerning the likely solution?
  Maybe you have been coding for years, are bored with the old
  design-build-review-test-ship-repeat routine, and yearn for some
  faster-paced challenges? Or perhaps you are a seasoned software
  engineer who is also a genius at jockeying networks and administering
  UNIX clusters.

  We are looking for top-notch, thrill-seeking Software Engineers to
  join the Google.com Engineering team. Google.com Engineers are in the
  thick of everything involved with keeping Google running, from
  code-level troubleshooting of service anomalies to safeguarding the
  availability of our most popular services; from monitoring and
  response to building new automation infrastructure to balancing the
  desire for change management with the need for stability. All team
  members must have strong analytical and troubleshooting skills,
  fluency in coding, good communication skills and most of all
  enthusiasm for tackling the complex problems of scale which are
  uniquely Google. We tackle challenging, novel situations every day,
  and work with just about every other engineering and operations team
  at Google in the process.

  In this role you will need:

  * Expertise in coding, analyzing and troubleshooting large-scale
    distributed systems.
  * Experience in a high-volume or critical production service
    environment.
  * Strong understanding of IP networking, including the ability to
    analyze network behavior, performance and application issues using
    standard tools like tcpdump.


# Required Skills: Qualifications:

  * BA/BS in Computer Science, MS or PhD is preferred.
  * 0-15 years experience.
  * 3+ years developing web-based applications.
  * Expertise in data structures, algorithms, and complexity analysis.
  * Fluency in one or more of: C, C++, Java.
  * Fluency in one of more of: Shell, PHP, Perl or Python.
  * Ability to handle periodic on-call duty, as well as out-of-band
    requests.
  * Solid working knowledge of UNIX, preferably Linux.
  * Tack-sharp analytical abilities.
  * A strong sense of ownership, urgency, and drive.
  * Fluent written communication and unusual verbal agility are strong
    assets.
  * SQL experience a plus, MySQL a plus.
  * Experience leading short projects involving outside teams is a plus.
