About The Job
Join the Looker Control Plane team to architect the backbone of Looker’s global multi-cloud infrastructure. We own the end-to-end lifecycle of Looker instances across GCP, handling everything from billing, core resource provisioning with Terraform to multi-region GKE orchestration. You’ll work on high-impact projects like consumption based billing, autoscaling, complex networking hardening, provisioning AI resources, handling lifecycle of instances and building scalable delivery platforms using One Platform APIs. Our mission is to ensure Looker’s evolution through reliable automation, enterprise-grade security compliance, and innovative billing and lifecycle systems.
Looker is a unified platform that powers data experiences and delivers actionable business insights to employees at the point of decision. Looker integrates data into the daily workflows of users to allow organizations to extract value from data at web-scale.
Responsibilities
- Define the mid-to-long-term vision for the Looker Control Plane, identifying future challenges in multi-cloud orchestration and architecting a sustainable roadmap for global scalability.
- Build, manage, and inspire a team of software engineers, guiding their career development, conducting performance reviews, and fostering a high-performing team culture.
- Lead the resolution of open-ended problems where the solution is non-obvious, such as designing next-generation billing, multi-region disaster recovery, and migrations between clouds.
- Exhibit leadership across multiple groups, navigating competing priorities, influencing system designs beyond your direct team, and partnering with product to ensure cohesive execution.
- Partner closely with product management and cross-functional stakeholders to translate the product vision into a technical roadmap, prioritizing deliverables and ensuring successful execution of complex projects.
