Software Development Manager II, Security/Privacy

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.

In this high-visibility leadership role, you will oversee the delivery of critical confidential computing capabilities to market, including advanced software features and hardware support for CPUs and GPUs (examples of features and products). You will set the direction for core attestation capabilities, which serve as the fundamental verification mechanism for customer trust in isolated environments.

You will influence the industry landscape through active participation in partnerships with internal teams, customers and external partners. By guiding your team to solve challenging problems in private inference and sovereign cloud solutions, you will directly contribute to Google's market leadership.
