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 Linux Kernel team optimizes massive-scale compute and storage infrastructure. We develop foundational software powering public Google Cloud and internal infrastructure. You will implement features and enhance the Linux Kernel in areas like low-overhead virtualization, memory capacity, memory tiering, advanced CPU scheduling, and security. ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: Not stated - First seen by OpenNash: Oct 23, 2026 - Last checked: Oct 30, 2026 - Listed for: 7 days - Location: Sunnyvale, CA, USA[Apply on Alphabet’s careers site →](https://www.google.com/about/careers/applications/jobs/results/98234397022397126-software-engineering-manager-kernel-development) ## Hiring at Alphabet - Open jobs: 3,591 - New in the last 7 days: After two weekly collections - Tracked since: Aug 20, 2026 [All Alphabet jobs](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/alphabet/) · [Weekly hiring report](/reports/hiring/) ## More jobs at Alphabet ### [AI and Infrastructure Software Engineer, Virtualization](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/alphabet/jobs/fff7ad38045a0d84a9a5/) Sunnyvale, CA, USA ### [Firestore Software Engineering Manager](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/alphabet/jobs/0baa2504e50629d44f7c/) Sunnyvale, CA, USA ### [GPU System Software Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/alphabet/jobs/08ef38825b03d241e606/) Sunnyvale, CA, USA ### [Hardware/Software Co-Design Engineer, Inference](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/alphabet/jobs/c656cc1479703aa0c31e/) Sunnyvale, CA, USA ### [Hardware/Software Codesign and Performance Engineer, Inference](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/alphabet/jobs/39c2e7392988f368f731/) Sunnyvale, CA, USA ## Similar jobs at other companies ### [Senior Software Development Engineer - Linux Kernel, AWS Hardware Engineering](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/ea25983f1c3020811839/) Amazon · US, WA, Seattle ### [Software Development Engineer in Test - Kernel Quality Engineering, Core OS](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/apple/jobs/174510597b65f18787f1/) Apple · Cupertino, United States of America ### [Sr. Software Development Engineer – GPU Kernel Development](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/advanced-micro-devices-amd/jobs/aa7082aa8e9674741b14/) Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) · Santa Clara, California ### [Senior System Software Engineer, Agentic Kernel Development](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/nvidia/jobs/36de5e05a36d23be20a2/) NVIDIA · US, CA, Santa Clara ### [Senior Software Engineer, Linux Kernel & Driver Development](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/general-motors/jobs/549565cc8fc2e941d340/) General Motors · Austin, Texas, United States of America OpenNash lists jobs from employers’ own careers sites and does not handle applications.
