About the Team

The Cluster Management (Borg) team runs as a group of smaller teams executing on various aspects of the system. Each team takes on different challenges: from the machine level agents, through autoscaling application up to spatial flexibility solutions for Borg. Our stack is mostly C++, and our work is a mix of data analysis, cross-team collaboration, coding, and debugging.

In this role, you will focus on Google's core cluster-management component, Borg Prime, and you will apply data analysis and parallel programming techniques to scale it up to support increasingly large workloads.
