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.

Container-Optimized OS (COS) is the Linux distribution for Compute Engine VMs that keeps Google Cloud secure, available, and performant. The team focuses on security hardening, reliable long-term support, and frequent updates. In this role, you will collaborate across Google to integrate new features and support new hardware platforms, while occasionally contributing to upstream open-source projects. Joining the COS team means working directly with the Linux kernel and building deep operating systems expertise for a massive-scale platform used by millions.

We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google’s cutting-edge technology, and tools that help developers build more sustainably.
