As the Network Engineer in Google Enterprise Networks (GEN) Operations you will serve as a frontline technical contributor responsible for maintaining the daily health, availability, and performance of Google"s global enterprise network.

From the foundation, we are involved from site acquisition to construction and are accountable for what space and power is delivered.

  • Monitor network dashboards and alerting systems (e.g., IRM) for anomalies, perform initial triage to classify severity, and act on alerts within defined SLOs.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve low to moderate complexity network incidents affecting wired/wireless networks, routing, switching, and firewalls by following Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
  • Implement routine network changes, such as port configurations, VLAN assignments, and software updates, following approved Change Requests (CRs) and performing pre- and post-change verifications.
  • Maintain network diagrams, manage user-reported tickets, coordinate with vendors/ISPs, and escalate high-impact issues to senior engineers with detailed diagnostic information.
