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.
The Control Plane team is seeking an experienced leader to build and grow our highly performant engineering teams while managing Identity and Access Management policies across all of Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
In this role, you will provide thought leadership to evolve our governance for dynamic, non-human identities. You will own a highly reliable and secure platform governing billions of policies, delivering scalable features that empower administrators, delight external customers, and power core GCP services in an increasingly agentic world.
