ABOUT THE JOB:

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.

This team is responsible for IAM Policies across GCP, empowering administrators

to manage cloud deployments at scale in an innovative, AI agent first world.

As a Manager, you will lead, grow, and strengthen a highly performant team

owning a platform that manages billions of security policies. You will manage

product excellence and customer obsession to deliver highly secure, scalable,

and reliable access control infrastructure enforcing dynamic policies for both

human and autonomous agent identities. Partnering closely with other Cloud

leaders, you will drive technical strategy and resolve complex architectural

challenges to ensure GCP services have simple, reliable ways to integrate access

control.

Google Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to digitally transform its

business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage

Google’s cutting-edge technology, and tools that help developers build more

sustainably. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google

Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical

business problems.

experience, and relevant education or training.
