About the role

Google’s Release Channel team seeks a software engineer to balance release velocity with production stability for BigQuery’s channels. You will drive capacity management strategy, solve complex distributed systems challenges, and partner with Workload Management to define a multi-year roadmap across components forming channelization. The role requires leading technical initiatives, mentoring engineers, and delivering scalable backend solutions for Google Cloud Platform.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
