Google (Ottignies-Louvain-la-Neuve)
Het internet groeit snel, en dat geldt ook voor de vraag naar onze services, van Zoeken tot Gmail en YouTube. In 2016 openden we in de Nederlandse Eemshaven een nieuw datacenter om deze groei te kunnen bijhouden. In 2018 kondigden we een uitbreiding van deze campus aan. In juni 2019 maakten we een verdere groei van de Eemshaven bekend, plus plannen voor een nieuwe locatie bij Middenmeer, ongeveer 108 km ten zuiden van de Eemshaven. Hiermee komen onze totale investeringen in Nederlandse datacenters uit op 3,8 miljard euro.
Ons datacenter in de Eemshaven biedt werkgelegenheid aan meer dan 470 mensen. Dit zijn fulltime medewerkers en externe leveranciers, waaronder IT-specialisten, technici, bewakers, cateringpersoneel en faciliteitbeheerders.
Google heeft in Nederland overeenkomsten gesloten met windparken bij Delfzijl en in Zeeland (Krammer en Bouwdokken) en met zonne-energiepark Sunport Delfzijl voor de inkoop van hernieuwbare energie voor onze datacenters.
Google's software engineers develop the next-generation technologies that change how billions of users connect, explore, and interact with information and one another. Our products need to handle information at massive scale, and extend well beyond web search. We're looking for engineers who bring fresh ideas from all areas, including information retrieval, distributed computing, large-scale system design, networking and data storage, security, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, UI design and mobile; the list goes on and is growing every day. As a software engineer, you will work on a specific project critical to Google’s needs with opportunities to switch teams and projects as you and our fast-paced business grow and evolve. We need our engineers to be versatile, display leadership qualities and be enthusiastic to take on new problems across the full-stack as we continue to push technology forward.
