About the job
The Cloud Engineering Director for the Cloud/Open Ecosystems (COE) team will advance the mission of driving usage of Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and other public cloud technologies by Alphabet. In this role, you will build and drive adoption of Public Cloud platforms to enable Alphabet’s product areas, bets, and acquisitions to build cloud-native systems with strong security and privacy controls, and an engineering experience that improves development velocity. Further, you will own the GCP/Alphabet leadership relationship, ensuring incentive and strategic alignment, supporting Alphabet’s public cloud needs.
The rapidly growing capabilities of GCP are critical to meeting the increasing needs of Alphabet’s engineering teams who are adapting to changes in industry practices, demands from stakeholders, and a highly competitive landscape. Making Alphabet the most sophisticated user of GCP and other public cloud technologies is key to making these capabilities available to the engineering teams safely and at-scale.
As the COE Engineering Director, you will lead a team of software, security, and system engineers to define the technical strategy and implement the platforms necessary to enable safe use of public cloud and the building of hybrid systems for Alphabet’s businesses. You will need to work on technical problems across a variety of domains including: cloud infrastructure actuation and management, security and privacy controls and risk management, networking and service connectivity, reliability engineering and observability, and AI/ML. This role also requires forming strong partnerships with engineering, Product Management, and PMO teams who will contribute to the end-to-end solutions we deliver to our customers.
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.
