To apply, go through our Stack Overflow Careers post:

I didn't downvote you, but "sorry, no remote work" is a comical restriction for this field, especially for a large organization like Google.

Is your hypothesis that all types of work in "this field" (which, exactly?) spanning all levels of interactivity can be performed equally well by remote workers? I have personal experience that such a hypothesis is demonstrably false, even for pure software projects. I can only imagine how much more so the disconnect would be when the work involves hardware.

"The majority of people here are doing low-level systems programming, usually networking related, and a handful of people are doing data analysis (call it big data, if you like) to figure out how to optimize Google's next generation hardware and software platforms."

Those tasks can and are done by programmers from anywhere. There is absolutely no reason to make them come to an office.

How the hell do you build hardware remotely?

Do you have some implicit requirements, like a degree from elite US schools or similar?

The requirement is that you be very good at the things we need. There are multiple ways to demonstrate this.

Well, in that case, I believe you need to be more specific in your job posting at your careers page.
