Software Engineering Manager, NetSoft

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.

This role requires a Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience, 8 years of experience with software development in one or more programming languages (e.g., Python, C, C++, Java, JavaScript), and 3 years of experience in a technical leadership role, with 2 years of experience in people management. Preferred qualifications include a Master's degree or PhD in Computer Science or related technical field, 3 years of experience working in a changing organization, and experience working cross-functionally.

As a Software Engineering Manager at Google, you will set and communicate team priorities, develop mid-term technical ideas and roadmaps, design and guide systems, write code, and review code developed by other engineers. You will also be responsible for setting clear expectations, providing feedback and coaching to team members, and aligning strategy and decision-making across teams.
