About the job
Small teams, operating with context, empowerment, and access to the world’s most promising technology, often create the breakthroughs that define markets.
For the last 8 years, the Office of the CTO (OCTO) in Google Cloud has leveraged this insight, combined with the direct sponsorship of the Cloud CTO and CEO, to help our most strategic customers transform their organizations using small, adaptable teams and methods, while concurrently supporting our internal collaborators as they take these early technology proof points and build them into scaled products and platforms.
As a Principal Engineer within the Office of the CTO in Google Cloud, you will create and reinforce the human pathways between Google Engineering and our most strategic customers and partners, allowing all of us to start from loosely defined, potentially transformative market opportunities and convert them into new, technology-enabled businesses.

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.
