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 Borglet ML, you will play a critical role in Google’s internal infrastructure, new Cloud and ML business by managing fastest-growing resources. You will join a growing team making impactful contributions to Google's infrastructure and developing what is likely the most sophisticated cluster management system in the world.
In this role, you will manage a team of Software Engineers focused on designing, implementing, and analyzing low-level computer systems and their interactions with the kernel and hardware while driving the team's technical charter and contributing as their team lead/manager, collaborating with partner teams as well as users across Google.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.
