Data Center Operations Manager, Server Operations

I want to highlight that Google isn't just a software company; the Hardware Operations team is responsible for monitoring the state-of-the-art physical infrastructure behind Google's powerful search technology. As a Hardware Operations Manager, I will manage a team of Data Center Technicians. I will oversee the quality installation of server hardware and components and take charge of complicated installations and troubleshooting. My team will install, configure, test, troubleshoot, and maintain hardware (like servers and their components) and server software (such as Google's Linux cluster). They will also take on the configuration of more complex components like networks, routers, hubs, bridges, switches, and networking protocols. My team may lead small project teams on larger installations and develop project contingency plans. In this role, I will lead one or more teams to deliver critical data center initiatives such as data security, machine maintenance, and networking. I will identify trends via data analytics at the project level and drive the changes needed to address them, such as improving tools, processes, or procedures. I will serve as the point of contact for escalation for one or more data center sites, quantifying systemic issues and escalating when appropriate. I will work with partners, including Program Managers and Data Center Operations, to provide input into short-term and long-term strategy, process changes, and task orders for the site. I will manage projects to budget, timeline, and resourcing needs. The Data Center team designs and operates some of the most sophisticated electrical and HVAC systems in the world. We are a diverse, upbeat, creative, team-oriented group of engineers committed to building and operating powerful data centers. Google is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and is an affirmative action employer, committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity, or Veteran status. We also consider qualified applicants regardless of criminal histories, consistent with legal requirements.
