Google has had multiple offices and data centers in and around the Atlanta area, for at least 10+ years now. They have offices all around the southeast. I passed one on foot in Chapel Hill randomly which I didn't know existed. /xoogler

This is news to me. I thought Google’s Atlanta office was closed a while back. So there are software engineers and data scientists currently working at Google in the southeast?

There's a data center somewhere around Atlanta, but to my knowledge it's purely wall-to-wall racks and the IT guys who babysit them. There may be a handful of GCP salespeople with a water cooler and coffee maker somewhere, I'm not sure. But the midtown office where developers worked (and user group meetups were hosted) has been closed for several years now. To my knowledge, that was the end of developers or data scientists based out of Atlanta (except for remote workers, perhaps).
