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.
As an Engineering Manager, you will own the Chrome Browser crash and performance pipelines. You will review every single commit to Chrome for all platforms and generate high confidence in performance and crash. You will have to make sure that code contributions from the broader open source community are safe and stable enough to release. You will be developing new features to ensure every change lands improving/maintaining Chromes performance and quality. Some of the problems which you have to handle are, smart analysis of crashes, prevent performance regressions at landing and shortening the time from detection of issues to fix.
Chrome is dedicated to building a better, more open web. We’re focused on making a better browser (on both desktop and mobile) to help users take advantage of all the web has to offer in a safe and secure way.Chrome is available across all major platforms — iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux and Chrome OS. We also built Chrome as an open source project so the entire web ecosystem could benefit from the latest innovations in speed, simplicity and security.
Responsibilities
- Design, guide and vet systems designs within the scope of the broader area, and write product or system development code to solve ambiguous problems.
- Drive the long-term technical direction and lead the team in both building new features and improving the engineering quality of existing systems to enable Chrome developers execution.
- Mentor engineers on the team to accelerate their development and our capacity to do great work.
- Lead team execution of projects to deliver quality software on schedule using light-weight tools like sprint planning, issue tracking, and regular sync meetings.
- Collaborate with stakeholders including engineering teams, data scientists, and leadership on evaluating product health and proposing next level goals to improve execution of Chrome engineer and adjacent systems.
