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. Responsibilities Manage a team of software engineers or software engineer managers. Operate within a tech stack split between internal systems (e.g., Angular, Java) and using Ruby on Rails, Python, TypeScript. Scope problems and recommend solutions which consider both short and long-term needs, and implement solutions or delegate the implementation to reports (i.e., go beyond simply implementing others' ideas). Manage team staffing, career and performance management for your team. Ensure quality-driven delivery at scale and remove widely-felt barriers to productivity.
