Enterprises today are deploying thousands of AI agents, creating a significant governance gap. Without a centralized control plane, this rapid adoption leads to "shadow agents"—autonomous entities operating without oversight, resulting in duplicated tasks, security vulnerabilities, and compliance risks.
The Agent Registry team mission is to be the definitive source of truth for enterprise agentic cataloging and governance. By centralizing the life cycle, discoverability, and management of agents, skills, and tools, we empower enterprises to bring these intelligent actors under their own unified governance and strategic orchestration.The AI and Infrastructure team is redefining what’s possible. We empower Google customers with breakthrough capabilities and insights by delivering AI and Infrastructure at unparalleled scale, efficiency, reliability and velocity. Our customers include Googlers, Google Cloud customers, and billions of Google users worldwide.
We're the driving force behind Google's groundbreaking innovations, empowering the development of our cutting-edge AI models, delivering unparalleled computing power to global services, and providing the essential platforms that enable developers to build the future. From software to hardware our teams are shaping the future of world-leading hyperscale computing, with key teams working on the development of our TPUs, Vertex AI for Google Cloud, Google Global Networking, Data Center operations, systems research, and much more.Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
US: $262000 - $364000 (USD) + 25% bonus target + equity + benefits
