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 Chrome Security AI Agent Security and Safety team is tasked with enabling the secure, safe, and responsible transformation of user experiences on the web with the power of Agentic AI. In this role, you will manage a team of software engineers to deliver on key safety and anti-abuse capabilities needed to secure Chrome users, and Google's systems against new attacks made possible with the introduction of AI capabilities into the browser. You will help shape the strategy and lead the delivery of safe agentic experiences with Gemini-in-Chrome, and lay the foundations of responsible agentic future for the web.
Chrome is dedicated to building a better, more open web. We’re focused on making a better browser (on both desktop and mobile) to help users take advantage of all the web has to offer in a safe and secure way.Chrome is available across all major platforms — iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux and Chrome OS. We also built Chrome as an open source project so the entire web ecosystem could benefit from the latest innovations in speed, simplicity and security.
Responsibilities
- Lead strategy development, roadmap planning, design, and development of safety and anti-abuse solutions for Gemini-in-Chrome, and other agentic interfaces on the web.
- Lead design and development of anti-abuse solutions to protect Chrome user experiences as websites increasingly raise friction with CAPTCHA challenges in order to defend themselves against increasingly sophisticated AI-augmented attacks.
- Lead and mentor a team of engineers towards designing and experimenting with novel, state-of-the-art security, and LLM-based engineering techniques.
- Collaborate within Chrome Security, and across various AI teams within Google, to deliver solutions while working in a quickly evolving space. Manage internal and external stakeholder relationships for ecosystem-facing solutions.
- Play a role in Chrome becoming a thought leader in the security of agentic web experiences, while keeping up with evolving threats, and sharing learnings externally with the web community and security researchers.
