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.
In this role, you will lead the Device Lifecycle Efficiency team that is responsible for managing various hardware processes and workflows across the lifecycle of hardware devices from proposals, bring-up, launch and through end-of-life. Your team develops backend systems and frontends for hundreds of users in different roles to guide devices from concept to the marketplace and other user journeys. These systems are used both internally and by dozens of external partners (e.g., original equipment manufacturer, original device manufacturers, SoCs, component and hardware vendors). You will help in shaping how the team evolves to support the next generation of ChromeOS based on Android.
