About the job

Like Google's own ambitions, the work of a Software Engineer (SWE) goes way beyond just Search. SWE 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 SWE Manager you manage your project goals, contribute to product strategy and help develop your team. SWE 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.

As a Technical Lead Manager, you will help build a delightful and reliable messaging experience for the millions of users who love having an Android device on their wrist. With over a billion monthly active users, Messages continues to enable seamless communication for people on the go, and you’ll play a key role in ensuring that experience remains smooth and intuitive.

Android is Google’s open-source mobile operating system powering more than 3 billion devices worldwide. Android is about bringing computing to everyone in the world. We believe computing is a super power for good, enabling access to information, economic opportunity, productivity, connectivity between friends and family and more. We think everyone in the world should have access to the best computing has to offer. We provide the platform for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and developers to build compelling computing devices (smartphones, tablets, TVs, wearables, etc) that run the best apps/services for everyone in the world.

Responsibilities

  • Work with product managers and UX designers to scope and build new features.
  • Architect the full application stack - UX, database and system performance.
  • Collaborate with the Wear OS platform team to influence design of new APIs.
  • Interact with carrier and OEM partners to build solutions for their requirements.
