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

Drive high-frequency user-facing experiments; objectively evaluate technical and product signals, know when to preserve momentum versus pull the plug, and seamlessly re-align the team toward fresh technical stacks or new problem spaces.
Serve as the primary technical anchor partnering with Research Scientists, Product Managers, and UX Designers to translate exploratory concepts and novel model capabilities into viable user experiences.
