Like Google's own ambitions, the work of a Software Engineer goes beyond just Search. Software Engineering Managers have not only the technical expertise to take on and provide technical leadership to major projects, but also manage a team of Engineers. You not only optimize your own code but make sure Engineers are able to optimize theirs. As a Software Engineering Manager you manage your project goals, contribute to product strategy and help develop your team. Teams work all across the company, in areas such as information retrieval, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, distributed computing, large-scale system design, networking, security, data compression, user interface design; the list goes on and is growing every day. Operating with scale and speed, our exceptional software engineers are just getting started -- and as a manager, you guide the way.
With technical and leadership expertise, you manage engineers across multiple teams and locations, a large product budget and oversee the deployment of large-scale projects across multiple sites internationally.
Google Distributed Cloud (GDC) delivers cloud solutions for large customers in finance, government, and highly regulated industries. As the scale of GDC clusters grows exponentially to support more customers and resources, our underlying control plane architecture must evolve.
Lead the newly formed GDC Unified Control Plane (UCP) team, which is responsible for building the next-generation control plane architecture for GDC. A rare opportunity to address deep, systemic distributed systems challenges—from split-DB control plane state management to large-scale, dependency-aware rollouts. Lay the groundwork that 70+ other engineering teams will build upon, directly enabling the platform's multi-tenant scale, operational stability, and security in isolated environments.
