The role

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.

Labs is a group focused on incubating early-stage efforts in support of Google’s mission to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our team exists to help discover and create new ways to advance our core products through exploration and the application of new technologies. We work to build new solutions that have the potential to transform how users interact with Google. Our goal is to drive innovation by developing new Google products and capabilities that deliver significant impact over longer timeframes.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.

US: $207000 - $300000 (USD) + 20% bonus target + equity + benefits

What you will do

Architect systems, define technical roadmaps for highly ambiguous greenfield

projects, and take initiatives to write critical-path prototype code alongside the team.

Provide direct technical direction, mentorship, and day-to-day coordination

for small pods of software engineers, unblocking technical hurdles and instilling high-velocity experimentation standards.

Drive high-frequency user-facing experiments; objectively evaluate technical

and product signals, know when to preserve momentum versus pull the plug, and seamlessly re-align the team toward fresh technical stacks or new problem spaces.

Serve as the primary technical anchor partnering with Research Scientists,

Product Managers, and UX Designers to translate exploratory concepts and novel model capabilities into viable user experiences.

Set the engineering bar for the pod—knowing precisely when to hack together a

lightweight MVP to answer a critical product question and when to harden foundations for projects to broader Google platforms.

What you need

Bachelor’s degree, or equivalent practical experience.
8 years of experience in software development.
3 years of experience with full stack development, across back-end such as

Java, Python, Golang, or C++ codebases, and front-end experience including JavaScript or TypeScript, HTML, CSS or equivalent.

3 years of experience in a technical leadership role.
2 years of experience in a people management or team leadership role.

Nice to have

Master's degree or PhD in Computer Science or related technical field.
3 years of experience working in a complex, matrixed organization.
