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 a part of the Platforms Storage, you will be responsible for building storage solutions for all of Google's services (e.g., AI/ML Systems, Cloud, Search, Photos, YouTube etc.). You will design and develop the platform's software and solutions for
NAND flash, Solid State Drives (SSDs), storage appliances, and next-generation disruptive storage technologies. You will develop firmware, kernel drivers, system software, tools and security solutions optimized for Google’s services. You will develop qualification frameworks, solutions and processes working jointly with our vendors, and will be responsible for maintaining and ensuring supply for all the flash in Google’s fleet.Google Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to digitally transform its business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google’s technology, and tools that help developers build more sustainably. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical business problems.Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
