About the job

Like Googles 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.

In this role, you will be joining a team of talented Software Engineers dedicated to building a new engineering function within the Cloud CISO organization. Our mission is to ensure the security of Google Cloud, its customers, and ultimately, contribute to the protection of the planet.

As a member of the Continuous Assurance Engineering team, you will be at the forefront of designing and developing solutions to address complex security challenges. You will have the unique opportunity to shape and build systems and processes from the ground up, as there are no established industry standards or ready-made solutions for the problems to address.
