Software Engineer Manager II, Privacy, Safety, and Security, AI Platforms

Job description

info_outline 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 Privacy, Safety, and Security (PSS) team builds foundational technologies, infrastructure, and frameworks that protect billions of users, safeguard data, and defend global digital ecosystems. As a central engineering and governance pillar, PSS partners across product areas to engineer security-by-design solutions, automate threat detection, advance cryptographic and privacy-preserving architectures, and ensure compliance with global regulatory standards.

In this role, you will be a leader who loves building alongside their team, turning ambitious ideas into working prototypes while coaching and growing the next generation of technical leaders.
