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.

Google has the largest compute infrastructure in the world. At such a scale we have to handle problems day-to-day that other companies in this industry don't see often. Our team's mission is to improve capacity delivery to Google's data centers by automating and optimizing planning processes. We are working on a number of projects that enable rapid machine delivery and improve predictability in the fulfillment pipeline.

We are a team that writes software to optimize the planning, delivery, and management of Google’s shared fleet of machines in our data centers.
