SDEs creatively put their engineering discipline to use automating the mundane and reducing toil. We don’t just write code to fix bugs, but emphasize the development of tools and solutions that fix classes of problems. We know it’s hard to control what you can’t measure – so we focus on observability: instrumenting first, then turning data into knowledge, and finally knowledge into action. We know that the operational efficiency of Google systems, services, virtual compute environments and the operating systems that power them impact the environment, not just the bottom line. We know that working together we can do more, and that community matters. Google brings together people with a wide variety of backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. We encourage them to collaborate, think big and take risks in a blame-free environment. We promote self-direction to work on meaningful projects, while we also strive to create an environment that provides the support and mentorship needed to learn and grow. Together we engineer and build the infrastructure, tools, access and telemetry for systems that enable orchestration of Google-scale services. Come build things that matter. As a Systems Development Engineer Manager, you will be passionate about managing a team of SDE engineers and Team Leads (TLs) working on the GDCag and GDCc product suites. You will be building a suite of tools to make it easy for our partners to design and validate custom deployments and to manage deployments running at a scale of over 5000 per month across the globe. Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible. + Act as a bridge between partners and cross-functional teams. Closely partner with United States (US) operations team to coordinate and effectively run the operations. + Explain the team's goal, progress, and tests clearly to stakeholders, both within and outside the organization. + Allocate resources strategically, ensuring that projects are delivered on time and within budget, while also allowing for flexibility and adaptability. + Implement metrics to evaluate the impact of the team's work, both in terms of research advancements and product impact. + Build a team of engineers to land the scope of tooling and operations and provide technical leadership and mentorship to team members.
