About the job

Core Compute Analytics is a team of data scientists and software engineers with the mission of improving the efficiency and performance of the ecosystem and of Google Cloud Platform.

In this role, you will build data pipelines to deliver production hints that improve efficiency and allow Google to achieve fleet-wide optimization goals and develop statistical modeling frameworks that allow Google to effectively manage its infrastructure spending. You will define compute telemetry needs and munge the data to strategically decide which projects infrastructure teams should pursue as they strive to enable new capabilities for Google. The current issues include increasing heterogeneity in the fleet arising from the end of Moore's law and the introduction of Machine Learning (ML) accelerators as well as the divergence between the efficiency goals of internal Google workloads and Google Cloud Platform.
The US base salary range for this full-time position is $166,000-$244,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location.
