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.
The Core Data Information Retrieval (IR) organization serves Google’s mission by building infrastructure and services that acquire, understand, and organize all types of data, serving as the long term memory and research partner for humans and AI models alike. IR products leverage cutting-edge ML and traditional retrieval technologies to enable fast, planet-scale, retrieval for critical Google businesses.
In this role, you will be responsible for designing and developing a centralized UI that serves as a Pantheon/Cloud Console equivalent for the IR ecosystem, and providing a principled approach to integrating IR development, journeys and existing product interfaces.
The Core team builds the technical foundation behind Google’s flagship products. We are owners and advocates for the underlying design elements, developer platforms, product components, and infrastructure at Google. These are the essential building blocks for excellent, safe, and coherent experiences for our users and drive the pace of innovation for every developer. We look across Google’s products to build central solutions, break down technical barriers and strengthen existing systems. As the Core team, we have a mandate and a unique opportunity to impact important technical decisions across the company.
Manage and mentor a team of front-end/full-stack engineers including hiring and onboarding the team.
Collaborate with IR teams on separate product User interfaces (UIs) projects and new features and deliver high-quality UIs adhering to engineering best practices.
Scope, plan, and drive multi-quarter and multi-year projects to turn around the shape of Google's search infrastructure.
Partner and collaborate with related Engineering teams, Product Management, UX, and Program Management to ensure effective development of high-quality solutions.
