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.
