About the job

Like Google's own ambitions, the work of a Software Developer goes beyond just Search.

You not only optimize your own code but make sure developers are able to optimize theirs. As a Software Developer 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 developers are just getting started -- and as a manager, you guide the way. With technical and leadership expertise, you manage developers across multiple teams and locations, a large product budget and oversee the deployment of large-scale projects across multiple sites internationally.
