About the job

Like the company'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.

As the Software Engineering Manager for the newly formed software engineering team within the Cloud & Third-Party Security team in Singapore, you will be a foundational lead for our new, high-impact software engineering team. You will act as a technical leader to hire and manage software engineers and work cross-functionally with stakeholders across the company to enable achieving our risk reduction goals.

Responsibilities

• Build and lead a team of software engineers, combining technical leadership and people management to build scalable products that identify and remediate security gaps in Alphabet's usage of public cloud infrastructure, third-party vendors, and SaaS.
• Drive the technical roadmap to support risk reduction goals by addressing ambiguous problems, identifying future work, and ensuring technical excellence and manageable complexity.
• Oversee engineering projects, drive key architectural decisions and influence strategies across partner security and software engineering teams while building strong collaborations.
• Partner with cross-functional roles (e.g., Security Engineers, TPMs) to define requirements and implement systems that enable the rollout of controls to reduce the risk of undermanaged cloud and third-party vendor usage.
• Cultivate a high-performing engineering culture by overseeing staffing, driving professional growth through mentorship, and leading career development and performance management initiatives.
