**About the job**:
Like Google's own ambitions, the work of a Software Engineer goes way 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.

Protecting users' privacy and securing their data is core to Google's work. That is why we design solutions that eliminate entire classes of threats from being effective both on our platforms and across the Internet as a whole.

In this role, you will manage a team from its inception and be part of a collaborative group of engineers, product managers, and security and privacy experts who work together to protect and secure users and their data, whether that means combating cyber threats, building safe technologies that unlock society's full potential, or developing responsible technology policies.

**Responsibilities**:

- Build and manage a local team, while also providing technical guidance, strategy, and goals to the team in the wider security and privacy context.
- Cultivate a collaborative, inclusive, and psychologically safe environment where team members can thrive and contribute their work.
- Support the professional growth of all team members by ensuring career alignment with priorities.
- Form strong partnerships across Google, aligning the team's work with the organization's overall strategic goals.
