  • Work across engineering teams that build, design, and implement hardware and software, and that span across infrastructure including platforms, server architecture, compute, storage, networking, and data analytics. 
  • Influence and establish best engineering practices to manage robust and scalable systems to get ahead of the exponential market demand. 
  • Provide leadership for cloud developer technology inside Google and manage collaboration with cross-functional Engineering teams to streamline and improve adoption of Google Cloud Platform capabilities, both within Google as well as for the cloud industry at large.
