As a Software Engineering Manager you manage your project goals, contribute to product strategy and help develop your team.

You will be designing and maintaining robust, semantically-meaningful APIs that connect YouTube to external ad-serving dependencies. In this role, you will develop end-to-end integrations to onboard new demand sources and ad servers. You will codify privacy and data-sharing policies directly into the stack. You will balance complex trade-offs between creator business, advertiser value, and regulatory requirements.
