If youre wondering if Google has an opening in your particular tech area, the answer is probably yes.
The great thing is that we have almost every type of IT opening available, Geshuri says. From networking to security to sysadmins. If you look at our job board, we have tons and tons of amazing openings.
Hes not exaggerating. The openings range from the data center, global infrastructure, and security to video conferencing, telecommunications, and Web site engineering.
The locations, too, are diverse. Its not necessarily centralized, so its a broad set of roles in all the locations we have, he says. The company has facilities from Phoenix to New York to Dallas, not to mention Egypt, the Ukraine, Latvia, Ireland, Azerbaijan, and many others.
(Azerbaijan? Does Google need outposts in every little corner of the world? Is it planning on taking over the planet?)
Not one location is hiring more than the other, Geshuri explains. He refers to the global growth of the company, how its always building infrastructure, always trying something new, always innovating. So each location, we want them to be just as fully staffed as any other location since were growing very rapidly.
