As the Principal Engineer and Unified Tech Lead (UTL) for the Hybrid Cloud Environment (HCE) team, you will act as the primary technical authority, owning the technical direction and multi-year roadmap for the Hybrid Cloud Environment platform. The platform establishes an automated and secure cloud infrastructure plane across Google, representing a paradigm shift in how enterprise software systems and developers interact with cloud infrastructure. It compiles natural-language developer intent and declarative governance directly into secure, compliant, and highly scalable cloud environments, abstracting away operational friction in cloud resource provisioning.
Tasks
- Define the compiler translating natural-language intent and decorators (including residency and budget) into secure cloud environments, establishing a reference implementation with a federated registry.
- Host autonomous AI agents operating under strictly bounded, non-amplifiable credentials.
- Lead the design of the control plane ensuring zero-trust identity using short-lived credentials integrated with Google's identity plane and Sigstore attestations.
- Employ automated drift pipelines, reaper protocols, and CVE controllers to eliminate manual compliance tickets.
- Mentor staff and senior staff engineers to cultivate the next generation of technical leaders, fostering an AI-fluent culture of rapid, safe iteration.
- Represent engineering standards across Google.
- Represent the organization across Core and Product Areas to arbitrate complex disputes.
- Collaborate across boundaries to establish a safe adoption ratchet, driving organic GCP adoption.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
- 15 years of experience in software engineering, with a focus on designing, building, and operating large-scale, distributed cloud infrastructure, policy engines, or control planes.
- Experience in a technical leadership role leading senior engineering teams and defining multi-year architectural strategies.
- Experience with AI application platforms, prompt engineering systems, or orchestrating agentic workflows.
- Deep familiarity with developer infrastructure and Cloud Platform solutions.
- Exceptional executive communication and influence skills, with a proven ability to lead across organizational boundaries and align executive-level priorities.
- Track record of designing compilers, policy engines, or domain-specific languages that compile high-level configurations or intents into secure cloud configurations.
