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.
The Cloud SDK team is responsible for the libraries in the Cloud SDK, and the gcloud Command-line Interface (CLI). We produce libraries in 9 languages (Java, Go, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, C++, Rust, PHP, Ruby, C#) to provide access to the 150+ GCP APIs, such as GCE, BigQuery, Pub/Sub, etc. We use code generation from API definitions to produce most of the SDK, but also support and share responsibility for thick clients for certain APIs.
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
- Manage the Cloud SDK for Java and C++ and produce and provide updates to client libraries in Java and C++ for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) APIs. API teams are constantly releasing new features and we provide updated SDKs with these features for our customers.
- Support new API features in the Java and C++ Veneers owned by our team (e.g., BigQuery).
- Support new GCP platform features (e.g., TPC, regional endpoints for data residency (DRZ), mTLS for authentication, interface-based versioning).
- Evolve the client libraries to meet expectations for the Java and C++ language ecosystems and support the Spring Cloud GCP Java integrations.
- Evolve the product, especially considering how the SDKs will be used with AI tools, resulting in increased user productivity and a better developer experience.
