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 Information Security Engineering (ISE) Cryptography team’s mission is to help everyone at Alphabet, and on the Internet, to use cryptography correctly. The team's work spans cryptographic library development, cryptographic consultation and review, high-assurance cryptography, and post-quantum cryptography (PQC).

Responsibilities

• Manage the team’s Cryptographic Libraries pillar, working with the pillar technical leads to define and execute on Google’s cryptographic library needs.
• Work with other pillar leads to ensure that Google’s cryptographic libraries are modern and secure, and support post-quantum cryptography and key hygiene practices.
• Establish relationships with other cryptography library managers at Google, ensuring the smooth collaboration between these library teams and ISE Crypto.
• Establish relationships with other Safe Coding managers and technical leads to explore collaboration and cross-team projects.
• Manage direct reports initially, taking responsibility for their needs and supporting their career development.
