Full Job Posting

Responsibilities

  • Define the compiler translating natural-language intent and decorators (including residency and budget) into secure cloud environments, establishing a reference implementation with a federated registry. Host autonomous AI agents operating under strictly bounded, non-amplifiable credentials.
  • Lead the design of the control plane ensuring zero-trust identity using short-lived credentials integrated with Google's identity plane and Sigstore attestations. Employ automated drift pipelines, reaper protocols, and CVE controllers to eliminate manual compliance tickets.
  • Mentor staff and senior staff engineers to cultivate the next generation of technical leaders, fostering an AI-fluent culture of rapid, safe iteration. Represent engineering standards across Google.
  • Represent the organization across Core and Product Areas to arbitrate complex disputes. Collaborate across boundaries to establish a safe adoption ratchet, driving organic GCP adoption.

Minimum qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 15 years of experience in software engineering, with a focus on designing, building, and operating large-scale, distributed cloud infrastructure, policy engines, or control planes.
  • Experience in a technical leadership role leading senior engineering teams and defining multi-year architectural strategies.

Preferred qualifications:

  • Experience with AI application platforms, prompt engineering systems, or orchestrating agentic workflows.
  • Deep familiarity with developer infrastructure and Cloud Platform solutions.
  • Exceptional executive communication and influence skills, with a proven ability to lead across organizational boundaries and align executive-level priorities.
  • Track record of designing compilers, policy engines, or domain-specific languages that compile high-level configurations or intents into secure cloud configurations.
