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.

In this role, you will build products that will help people follow their favourite sports, teams and athletes on search. You will help users find sports information and content easily. You will help products in all stages of their lifecycle, including mature products with a massive user base and significant technical complexity, to new/experimental products in the prototype stage to cater to the evolving needs of the sports consumer.

In Google Search, we're reimagining what it means to search for information – any way and anywhere. To do that, we need to solve complex engineering challenges and expand our infrastructure, while maintaining a universally accessible and useful experience that people around the world rely on. In joining the Search team, you'll have an opportunity to make an impact on billions of people globally.

Responsibilities

  • Provide technical leadership and manage a team that builds machinery to scale the Sports vertical and distinguishing features by leveraging Google's unique technical advancements.
  • Develop the charter of the team with a balanced portfolio of foundational investments, exploratory bets, and run the business priorties.
