SRE ensures that Google Cloud's services-both our internally critical and our externally visible systems-have reliability, uptime appropriate to customer needs, and a fast rate of improvement. SRE's culture of intellectual curiosity, problem solving and openness is key to its success. Large scale system design, coding, algorithms, and automation are central to the work. Beyond building and maintaining data centers, the Technical Infrastructure team keeps Google's platforms running smoothly, ensuring the best and fastest experience for users worldwide.
