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.
Cloud Key Management Service (KMS) allows Google Cloud Platform (GCP) customers to store and manage encryption keys as cloud resources. This is essential for enterprise and regulated industries (finance and healthcare) that require greater control over data protection. By mirroring familiar on-premise models, KMS enables customers to remain the ultimate custodians of their data. It supports secure storage, data deletion through key destruction, and granular access monitoring. While Google developers use keystores internally, KMS provides these same robust capabilities to external cloud customers. The role will involve developing both backend and frontend tools to offer cryptographic key management services for our Cloud customers.
The US base salary range for this full-time position is $207,000-$300,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring process.Responsibilities
- Identify unmet Cloud customer needs and advocate new engineering initiatives to address them, ensuring product impact and market relevance.
- Lead the rapid prototyping of high-potential concepts to develop new products and integrate Cloud KMS technology horizontally across service offerings.
- Architect solutions that balance security, availability, latency, and complexity to maintain high-performance product standards.
- Define and align team Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) with a broader organizational strategy while overseeing execution to ensure reliable, high-quality delivery.
