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.

The Google Cloud's Data Analytics suite of services helps users to collect, store, process, and analyze data in the cloud. Looker is a strategic BI platform, as part of Data Analytics suite. We are part of the Looker's Modeling team, responsible for defining a data model enabling BI users to easily explore data and rapidly build insightful visualization dashboards.

In this role, you will be re-defining the Looker Modeling's storage and its life-cycle management, along with defining the next generation of modeling that can be consumed as a service outside of the product (i.e. by the wider Data Analytics ecosystem).

Google Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to digitally transform its business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google’s cutting-edge technology, and tools that help developers build more sustainably. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical business problems.
