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. As Engineering Manager for Google Cloud Business Platform (GCBP) Engineering Productivity, you will define the technical strategy for test infrastructure and the AI-driven transformation of the testing life‑cycle. You will own release governance for GCBP’s Lead-to‑Cash platform, modernizing environments from fragmented staging to automated, self‑healing layers. You will mentor a high‑performing team and partner across CPQ, Ordering, Billing, Payments, and Finance to establish enterprise quality gates. Advocating shift‑left testing, you will bridge developer velocity with enterprise reliability to ensure zero‑defect deployments for Google Cloud.
