About the job

Google is seeking a Principal Engineer as overall TL to lead the evolution of our internal Continuous Delivery (CD) system. The Rollouts team develops Google's primary production deployment software, which encompasses version changes, capacity management, and configuration changes. In this role, you will be responsible for crafting and executing a comprehensive technical strategy that will standardize APIs (REST, gRPC, etc.), dramatically enhance CD performance, and ensure robust interoperability with both internal and external tooling.

As the overall Rollouts Technical Lead, you'll build collaborative bridges across Google, including Product Management, UX, Program Management, Tech Writing, and multiple engineering organizations. You will directly shape how Google delivers software for both safety and velocity, enabling reliability, risk reduction, safety, compliance, and development velocity outcomes for server developers at Google while preserving the speed of innovation. You'll work with established systems that involve technical compromises and the need to balance innovation with backwards compatibility. In addition, you will drive the cultural and technical change necessary to scale and evolve industry integrations platform-wide.

Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.

Responsibilities

Lead the technical strategy for the Rollouts product portfolio with an API-first approach.
Act as an innovation and unbiasing advocate, challenging the internal products’ tendency to follow the evolutionary path.
Partner with product leads across multiple areas, on technologies up and down Google's tall and deep stack to set the technical direction for the team, and drive platform-wide initiatives delivering production platform solutions to Googlers.
Partner across functions (e.g., Engineering, Product Management, UX, Technical Program Management) to integrate the API-first approach into all aspects of development, and pave the way for future industry integrations.
