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.

At Google Home, we are building the helpful home that takes care of the people inside it and the world around it. The Google Home App (GHA) team is on a mission to build the best smart home app that provides powerful, intuitive, cross-surface experiences that wrap the best of our first-party hardware (Google + Nest devices) and our third-party ecosystem (Cameras, Lights, Locks, and more) around the backbone of the Google Home Platform. The Engineering Manager will lead a group of Android and iOS SWEs working on building innovative features in GHA across Mobile, Tablet, Smart Display and TV surfaces.

The Google Home team focuses on hardware, software and services offerings for the home, ranging from thermostats to smart displays. The Home team
researches, designs, and develops new technologies and hardware to make
users’ homes more helpful. Our mission is the helpful home: to create a
home that cares for the people inside it and the world around it.

  • Define and build an extensibility smart home platform to enable rich and scalable feature development across first-party and third-party partners.

  • Advocate tech debt elimination and scalable system architecture by partnering with ATLs and XTLs across the organization, prioritizing code cleanup, and promoting testing and quality best practices across the organization.
