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.

Container-Optimized OS (COS) is the Linux distribution for Compute Engine VMs that keeps Google Cloud secure, available, and performant. The team focuses on security hardening, reliable long-term support, and frequent updates. In this role, you will collaborate across Google to integrate new features and support new hardware platforms, while occasionally contributing to upstream open-source projects. Joining the COS team means working directly with the Linux kernel and building deep operating systems expertise for a massive-scale platform used by millions.

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.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.

US: $207000 - $300000 (USD) + 20% bonus target + equity + benefits

Responsibilities

• Drive a long-term technical vision for Container-Optimized OS (COS) while collaborating across infrastructure teams to deliver integrations and resolve New Product Introduction (NPI) blockers.
• Implement automation frameworks to eliminate systemic bottlenecks, reduce manual toil, and accelerate development cycles.
• Leverage performance metrics and telemetry to refine engineering processes and maximize resource efficiency.
• Mentor a team of engineers and cultivate future technical leads by delegating high-impact projects and encouraging extreme ownership.
• Orchestrate project roadmaps and foster an environment centered on psychological safety, and high performance.
