Like Google's own ambitions, the work of a Software Engineer goes way 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, your mission is to move beyond simple automation and into the era of Agentic AI, creating sophisticated, autonomous solutions that partner with users to solve their data issues.

You will build agents, skills and tools that assist the entire data life‑cycle, and you will be a key driver in building the surfaces and tools that make data development intuitive, fast and seamless. You will collaborate with product managers, engineers, scientists, and designers to create unified, AI‑accelerated agents and developer experiences that push the boundaries of how humans and AI collaborate on code and data.
