About the job

Like Google's own ambitions, the work of a Software Developers goes beyond just Search. Software Developing Managers have not only the technical expertise to take on and provide technical leadership to major projects, but also manage a team of Developers. You not only optimize your own code but make sure Developers are able to optimize theirs. As a Software Developing 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 developers are just getting started -- and as a manager, you guide the way.

With technical and leadership expertise, you manage developers across multiple teams and locations, a large product budget and oversee the deployment of large-scale projects across multiple sites internationally.

The Google Ads ecosystem is an immense, global platform supporting billions of users and advertisers. The issue of maintaining a trusted environment at this scale is monumental.

In this role, you will be dedicated to creating innovative, technical solutions that detect, assess, and mitigate advanced threats. You will be a technical lead against the most elusive forms of Ads abuse and will be critical in securing one of the most visible and systems in the world, directly impacting Google's core business and maintaining the safety of its users.

Google Ads is helping power the open internet with the best technology that connects and creates value for people, publishers, advertisers, and Google. We're made up of multiple teams, building Google's Advertising products including search, display, shopping, travel and video advertising, as well as analytics. Our teams create trusted experiences between people and businesses with useful ads. We help grow businesses of all sizes from small businesses, to large brands, to YouTube creators, with effective advertiser tools that deliver measurable results. We also enable Google to engage with customers at scale.

Responsibilities
  • Drive the intel and security strategy against evolving threats, lead the technical strategy and make key security developing decisions while building and operating massive-scale detection and enforcement services.
  • Drive the creation of next-generation platforms for security, quality, and speed, enabling the Ads safety organization to detect and respond to threats in real-time.
  • Lead a team of security and software developers and collaborate with security teams across Google.
  • Define and enforce secure-by-design principles across Ads platforms, embedding proactive security into products.
  • Partner with product teams to integrate, scalable security solutions that minimize friction for legitimate advertisers while maximizing disruption for bad actors, and leverage Google's infrastructure and ML capabilities to build highly-available, fault-tolerant software services for threat intelligence, detection, and mitigation.
