About The Job

At Google, we work at lightning speed. So when things get in the way of progress, the Business Systems Integration team steps in to remove those roadblocks. The team identifies time-consuming internal processes and then builds solutions that are reliable and scalable enough to work within the size and scope of the company. You listen to and translate Googler needs into high-level technical specifications, design and develop recommended systems and consult with Google executives to ensure smooth implementation. Whether battling large system processes or leveraging our homegrown suite of Google products for Googlers themselves, you help Googlers work faster and more efficiently.

With your technical expertise, you build business applications and influence the design of features that improve the reliability of our applications and systems. You also define the scope of technical projects and oversee execution.

As an Application Engineer, you will design, build, and operate integrations and application programming interfaces (APIs) services in Google’s development environment along with applications and services from third-party vendors in Google. You will collaborate with users, business partners, software vendors, and other Engineering teams to increase the speed, reliability, and value of our systems.

At Corp Eng, we build world-leading business solutions that scale a more helpful Google for everyone. As Google’s IT organization, we provide end-to-end solutions for organizations across Google. With an inclusive mindset, we deliver the right tools, platforms, and experiences for all Googlers as they create more helpful products and services for everyone. In the simplest terms, we are Google for Googlers.

Responsibilities

• Build technology solutions for the Engineering team, directly impacting how HR and Payroll data is managed and processed at Google. 
• Implement and support highly scalable integrations between internal/external systems.
• Manage development of robust back-end services using a mix of custom Google technologies and capabilities.
• Collaborate with developers, business system leads and program managers to clarify requirements and drive timely execution. 
• Maintain the highest levels of development practices including technical design, development, systems configuration, test documentation/execution, issue identification and resolution, writing clean, modular and self-sustaining code.

A problem isn't truly solved until it's solved for all. Googlers build products that help create opportunities for everyone, whether down the street or across the globe. Bring your insight, imagination and a healthy disregard for the impossible. Bring everything that makes you unique. Together, we can build for everyone.
