    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 optimize your own code and ensure Engineers can optimize theirs. As a Software Engineering Manager, you manage project goals, contribute to product strategy, and help develop your team. Teams work across various areas such as information retrieval, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, distributed computing, large-scale system design, networking, security, data compression, and user interface design. Our engineers operate at scale and speed, and as a manager, you guide the way.
    
    With technical and leadership expertise, you manage engineers across multiple teams and locations, oversee large product budgets, and deploy large-scale projects internationally.
