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.

In this role, you will join Information Security Engineering (ISE) to lead company-wide programs securing Google’s software supply chain. As a Senior Software Engineering Manager in safe coding, you will help build and scale a new security team in Singapore from the ground up. You will identify critical risks and architect solutions that reduce security threats without sacrificing developer productivity. As the first senior Product Security hire in the region, your mission is to establish a healthy team culture rooted in innovation, creative freedom, and the spirit of ethical hacking in our new Singapore location.

The Core team builds the technical foundation behind Google’s flagship products. We are owners and advocates for the underlying design elements, developer platforms, product components, and infrastructure at Google. These are the essential building blocks for excellent, safe, and coherent experiences for our users and drive the pace of innovation for every developer. We look across Google’s products to build central solutions, break down technical barriers and strengthen existing systems. As the Core team, we have a mandate and a unique opportunity to impact important technical decisions across the company.

Responsibilities

• Set and communicate team priorities that support the broader organization's goals. Align strategy, processes, and decision-making across teams.
• Set clear expectations with individuals based on their level and role, and align them to the broader organization's goals.
• Build strong partnerships and collaboration roadmaps with partner teams in Google's software supply chain Integrity program, as well as with industry and academia.
• Develop the long-term technical goal and roadmap within, and often beyond, the scope of your teams and evolve the roadmap in securing Google's third-party dependencies.
• Meet regularly with individuals to discuss performance and development and provide feedback and coaching.
