About the job:

Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) combines software and systems engineering to build and run large-scale, massively distributed, fault-tolerant systems. SRE ensures that Google Cloud's services—both our internally critical and our externally-visible systems—have reliability, uptime appropriate to customer's needs and a fast rate of improvement. Additionally SRE’s will keep an ever-watchful eye on our systems capacity and performance.

In this role, you will manage a distributed engineering team, oversee real-time incident response, and lead DoSSec's evolution from reactive mitigation into proactive threat intelligence, adversary research, and automated disruption.

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, mentor, and grow a high-performing, distributed team of Site Reliability Engineerings (SREs) and security engineers. Manage career development, performance evaluations, and technical mentorship while supporting the team's expansion under new initiatives.
• Drive the Workstreams technical roadmap, overseeing the development of automated threat intelligence and tracking systems to mitigate risks proactively.
• Own the team's operational health and interrupt budgets. Lead the transition to and execution of a on-call rotation, actively driving escalation workflows.
• Partner closely with infrastructure providers and key customer stakeholders to unify protections across ecosystems and support productized offerings.
• Guide the publication of internal threat research and collaborate with internal intelligence partners and external communities to establish Google as an industry leader in Denial of Service (DoS) defense.
