About the job
Like Google's own ambitions, the work of a Software Engineer goes way 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.
In this role, you will lead the team building next-generation security endpoint agents for Linux, Windows, macOS, and Cloud. Deployed across Google and Alphabet, your work will process large security event volumes with low latency and minimal user impact.
You will partner with Detection and Response, Detection and Response Platform, and Platform teams across Cloud and Production. As the security landscape evolves, you will evolve our strategy and structure the team to anticipate future security needs.
Responsibilities
* Set the goals and manage the organisation building next-generation endpoint security agents for Linux, Windows, MacOS, and Cloud, protecting Alphabet machines from external and internal attacks.
* Define and execute a "buy, build, or partner" strategy, leveraging a combination of in-house software and industry-leading external tools to ensure fleet protection.
* Lead distributed teams in Zurich and Dublin, managing and coaching managers while hiring top talent to scale the organisation.
* Influence cross-organisational strategy, aligning multiple teams and ensuring technical prioritisation effectively addresses the developing threat model.
* Partner with Detection and Response and Platform teams across Cloud and Prod, applying operating system (OS) internals and security knowledge to drive cohesive defense strategies.
