Technical writers communicate complex information clearly, concisely and accurately, and without relying on jargon. As a technical writer, your role involves tasks such as writing conceptual overviews and procedures, reading and writing example code, or updating help center queries and FAQs. Technical writers play a big part at Google. They are a key link between engineers, marketing associates, developer advocates, as well as all the external users and developers, tying together many vital but disparate parts of the Google ecosystem.
As a Technical Writer on our Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team, you will document internal Google infrastructure, team processes and policies, and operational information related to running Google products and services reliably at scale. Documentation for SRE teams covers core internal systems, major products, and internal support tools.
Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) is an organization that consists of Site Reliability Engineers, who are Software Engineers (SWEs) or System Engineers (SEs) specializing in designing, building, and maintaining large-scale production services. Our mission is to protect, provide for, and progress the software and systems behind all of Google’s public services.
Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We're always on call to keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.
