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.

The Virtual Machine Runtime and Management team builds the core virtualization platform for the Distributed and Sovereign Cloud (DSC) ecosystem. This infrastructure layer powers the entire DSC product line including air-gapped, connected, software-only, and Gemini-integrated environments enabling customer workloads and layered services to run seamlessly across distributed, scalable cloud infrastructure.

In this role, you will lead the development of the foundational virtualization platform for our product line. You will be responsible for building and scaling a team delivering high quality, reliable, highly available, and highly performant infrastructure on which the full set of DSC services and customer workloads can rely.

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.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
