Interesting, thanks for sharing. Your role sounds similar to Cloud Solution Architect role I read about. Is there some overlap there?

I'm not trying to contradict Solomon's reply, but I lead our partner-centric solution architect team and we do send a good portion of our time in the same sort of engagements the Office of the CTO do, just in the context of three party (Google+partner+customer) opportunities. It's fun and I'm hiring (MTV, Bangalore and Paris).

Might you have a link for this role? Do you have a way to get in touch? I didn't see any details in your profile.

This is a general SA posting, but please email me for specifics on my openings.

I think the user (bogomipz) was looking for your email contact. Could it be eitally@google.com?

[EDIT] According to another Googler in this thread, the address is actually etally@google.com.

Thanks for the save -- I can see my email in my profile and assumed it was visible to others, too.

Thanks, cheers.

As another GCP person, I will attest that this SA team is legendary for creating valued solutions and good vibes.

The email you're looking for is etally@

There's certainly some overlap, though the Solutions Architects (SAs) are more explicitly focused on publishing solutions (cloud.google.com/solutions).

My team is composed of a mix of Google engineers that can (kind of) talk to people, and recovering CXO types from various industries (Finance, Healthcare, etc.). Each of us try to only work deeply with 1-3 customers at once, while SAs are usually focused on more broadly applicable solutions.

We all weave in and out depending on personal relationships with customers and individual skill sets, but we're all behind trying to make our customers successful regardless of role or title.

Thanks for the detailed response. It must be an interesting time right now in that group, nice to hear some insight.
