ABOUT THE JOB:

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.

In this role, you will lead a team of both junior and executive engineers. You

will understand the problems of our partners and stakeholders and will land work

that may have the impact to the business. You will guide technical direction,

contribute to design discussions, and maintain a connection.

You will have strong stakeholder management skills and will work with partner

teams and engineers to understand needs, align roadmaps, and ensure our modeling

infra meets the evolving demands of both networking and AI/ML landscape. You

will also work with geographically distributed teams.

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.
