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.
Our mission is to build the operating system for the future of finance. We are developing a global platform designed to address the challenges of cost, speed, and fragmentation in the financial system. We are creating a multi-asset, multi-currency infrastructure that enables financial institutions to settle transactions while maintaining the safety and compliance of regulated banking.
By leveraging Google’s expertise in distributed systems, security, and cloud infrastructure, we are building a platform that functions as a secure foundation for the next generation of payments. This team is at the forefront of financial innovation, collaborating with the institutions to create an accessible financial system.
Google Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to digitally transform its business and industry. 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.
Responsibilities
- Lead and scale a high-performing engineering organization (including managing other managers) responsible for the core platform architecture of the Google Cloud Universal Ledger.
- Drive the technical strategy for transitioning traditional financial infrastructure to cloud-native, distributed architectures, focusing on reliability, security, and Google-scale throughput.
- Advocate engineering excellence and developer velocity by building platform tooling, defining architectural standards, and automating delivery pipelines (CI/CD) for complex, regulated environments.
- Partner with Product Management and external C-level stakeholders at major financial institutions to translate business requirements into robust technical roadmaps.
- Oversee the implementation of critical security and governance frameworks (e.g., Identity, Zero Trust, Policy enforcement) required for banking-grade infrastructure.
