About the Job

In this role, you will build and operate (with SRE support) Cloud Interconnect, which virtualizes our edge and backbone, and allows enterprise customers to connect their on‑premises data centers/networks to GCP at 100 and 10 Gb/s speed. Interconnect has been one of the key features for GCP to onboard large enterprises and as such is a high impact project. You will also span in connecting smaller customers through partners, as well as building ultra‑low‑latency interconnects in order for customers to be able to use large file stores and databases operated by third‑parties, adjacent to (but not within) Google data centers. You will manage complexity from physical networks and routers through cloud virtualization.

You will help grow and manage a team in Hybrid Networking and Cloud Interconnect, a developer team with a strong and rapidly growing Cloud Product, lots of really interesting technical work, and interesting operational requirements.

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

• Recruit, hire, and lead a brand new team of engineers, establish a center of excellence for cloud networking technology in the Singapore development center.
• Develop and execute the long‑term technical goal and roadmap for differentiating hybrid cloud networking products, ensuring their availability, reliability, and performance.
• Mentor and grow a team of talented engineers. Set clear expectations, provide consistent feedback and coaching, and foster a culture of innovation and technical excellence.
• Guide the design and architecture of complex, large‑scale distributed systems. Write and review code to solve ambiguous problems and ensure adherence to best practices in accuracy, testability, and efficiency.
• Align strategy, processes, and decision‑making across multiple teams in various geographic locations to deliver time‑sensitive programs and meet future infrastructure needs.
