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.
Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the
Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and
maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google
platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our
engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we
can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have
the best and fastest experience possible.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills,
experience, and relevant education or training.
