Senior Software Engineering Manager, Security, Detection and Response

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.

Our tools are Google's last line of defense against intruders, many of whom are sophisticated and try to evade detection. We must keep ahead by building flexible systems for the long-term and by thinking of gaps in our threat model before our adversaries think of them.

You will be leading one of the largest data ingestion and processing platforms at Alphabet and the backbone of our Detection Infrastructure that protect against attackers.

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