Like Google's own ambitions, the work of a Software Engineer extends beyond Search. Software Engineering Managers combine technical expertise with leadership, managing teams of Engineers and ensuring that each engineer optimizes both their own code and that of others. Managers guide their teams across the company—in information retrieval, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, distributed computing, large-scale system design, networking, security, data compression, and user interface design.

Operating at scale and speed, exceptional engineers are just getting started, and as a manager, you help chart the direction.

With technical and leadership expertise, you manage engineers across multiple teams and locations, oversee a large product budget, and deploy large-scale projects internationally. As a part of Platforms Storage, you will build storage solutions for all of Google's services (e.g., AI/ML Systems, Cloud, Search, Photos, You Tube). You will design and develop platform software and solutions for NAND flash, Solid State Drives (SSDs), storage appliances, and next-generation storage technologies, including firmware, kernel drivers, system software, tools, and security solutions optimized for Google’s services.

You will develop qualification frameworks, solutions, and processes in partnership with vendors, and maintain supply for all flash in Google’s fleet.
