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.

Responsibilities

• Take end-to-end ownership of converting complex imagery, location, and sensor data into precise geometries to power Geo’s next generation navigation products. Translate ambiguous input data challenges into clear algorithmic, ML, GenAI formulations, brainstorming directly with product, UX, and engineering to define the optimal visual experience and iterate towards scalable solutions.
• Set and communicate team priorities that support the broader organization's goals. Align strategy, processes, and decision-making across teams.
• Set clear expectations with individuals based on their level and role, aligned with broader organizational goals. Meet regularly with individuals to discuss performance, development, feedback and coaching.
• Develop the long-term technical outlook and roadmap, meeting anticipated future requirements and infrastructure needs.
• Design, guide and vet system designs, and write product or system development code to solve ambiguous problems. Conduct code reviews and provide feedback ensuring best practices.
