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.

In this role, you will work in a fast-evolving field, apply cutting-edge research, and work directly with users, to further Google’s goal of making AI helpful for everyone.

Responsibilities:

  • Lead a team of Engineers in developing tools that empower Googlers to build agents.
  • Collaborate with Research and ML practitioners, identify, develop, and iterate on engineering tools, workflow integrations, user interfaces, and strategies to support user adoption.
  • Design, guide and vet systems designs within the scope of the broader area, and write product or system development code to solve ambiguous problems.
  • Lead the design and implementation of solutions in specialized ML areas, optimize ML infrastructure, and guide the development of model optimization and data processing strategies.
  • Set and communicate team priorities aligned with broader organizational goals, while also setting clear individual expectations based on level and role, and provide regular performance feedback and development coaching.
