About the job

Google's software engineers develop the next-generation technologies that change how billions of users connect, explore, and interact with information and one another. Our products need to handle information at massive scale, and extend well beyond web search. We're looking 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; the list goes on and is growing every day. As a software engineer, you will work on a specific project critical to Google’s needs with opportunities to switch teams and projects as you and our fast-paced business grow and evolve. We need our engineers to be versatile, display leadership qualities and be enthusiastic to take on new problems across the full-stack as we continue to push technology forward.

We are seeking a visionary, high-visibility Enterprise Architect to be a critical part of the Enterprise Product Strategy and Architecture (EPA) team.

Responsibilities

• Work collaboratively with EPA peers and the broader Architecture community to design, develop, and implement enterprise-wide architectural standards, guidelines, principles, and policies
• Partner with the Office of the CIO and Pillar Technical Leads—who also sit on the EAB—to facilitate governance, clear complex cross-pillar dependencies, and accelerate high-velocity technical approvals.
• Analyze transactional workflows and event logs to expose systemic friction and operational gaps, convert those insights into automated, modern system interactions.
• Lead structured efforts within the assigned pillars to mitigate technical debt, minimize architectural fragmentation, and address security threats before they impact delivery.
• Partner closely with Pillar Leads to define and execute comprehensive asset rationalization strategies, actively identifying systems approaching end-of-life and mapping related dependencies.
