Job Description

About the Role

Like Google's own ambitions, the work of a Software Engineer goes beyond just Search. Software Engineering Managers have not only the technical expertise to take on and provide technical leadership to major projects, but also manage a team of Engineers. You not only optimize your own code but make sure Engineers are able to optimize theirs. As a Software Engineering Manager you manage your project goals, contribute to product strategy and help develop your team. Teams work all across the company, in areas such as information retrieval, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, distributed computing, large-scale system design, networking, security, data compression, user interface design; the list goes on and is growing every day. Operating with scale and speed, our exceptional software engineers are just getting started -- and as a manager, you guide the way. With technical and leadership expertise, you manage engineers across multiple teams and locations, a large product budget and oversee the deployment of large-scale projects across multiple sites internationally. As an Engineering Manager, you will lead a team of engineers to build and maintain the core infrastructure and tools that ensure new products launch smoothly and work as planned. You will make engineers more efficient and ensure top-notch quality by providing these essential systems. You will create the systems needed for thorough launch verification of critical products, and build the automation and tools that deliver a smooth experience for developers. You will be a technical leader, helping your team grow, and working closely with other teams to speed up how products are built, tested, and released.
