Google's software engineers develop the next‑generation technologies that change how billions of users connect, explore, and interact with information and one another. Products must handle information at massive scale and extend well beyond web search. We look for engineers who bring fresh ideas from all areas, including information retrieval, distributed computing, large‑scale system design, networking and data storage, security, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, UI design and mobile.

As a software engineer, you will work on a specific project critical to Google’s needs with opportunities to switch teams and projects as the business evolves. We need versatile engineers who display leadership qualities and are enthusiastic to tackle new problems across the full stack.

The Git Source team is re‑architecting Google's Software Development Life Cycle through the Future of Git (FoG) initiative, leading an accelerated transition from legacy proprietary systems to industry‑standard platforms as the foundation for an internal developer platform (IDP). Our mission is to rapidly land General Availability, delivering an AI‑first SDLC architecture characterized by agentic orchestration, spec‑driven development, and context‑aware intelligence.

In this role, you will provide technical orchestration across engineering teams in Cloud and Open Ecosystems, Google Cloud, Git Ecosystem, and Privacy Safety and Security (PSS) to ensure a highly available, “compliant‑by‑default” developer experience that accelerates feature velocity for Googlers. You will be technical lead bridging Google’s unique internal scale with industry‑standard ecosystems while navigating complex Cloud security governance and requirements.

We are owners and advocates for the underlying design elements, developer platforms, product components, and infrastructure that build the technical foundation behind Google’s flagship products. These are essential building blocks for safe, coherent experiences for users and drive innovation pace.

• Leverage Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to build and modernize developer tools, optimizing for reliability, latency, and developer productivity at scale.
• Lead the architectural evolution of Git‑based workflows and infrastructure, ensuring scalability, security, and seamless integration with modern development practices.
• Drive the strategy and execution for integrating Google's internal development ecosystem with external platforms.
