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.

Managing the Chrome Accessibility team, you will help us make Chrome universally accessible and useful. Our team builds features and APIs that give people with disabilities access to the web. We’re focused on opening new experiences and possibilities for these users.

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

  • Manage and review C++ code development for Chrome on Android, providing feedback to ensure best practices (e.g., style guidelines, checking code in, accuracy, testability, and efficiency).
  • Collaborate across Chrome and the web platform to improve the experience for users with disabilities. Set and communicate team priorities, and align strategy, processes, and decision-making across teams.
  • Lead and influence the technical goals and roadmap within the scope of your teams. Evolve the roadmap to meet anticipated future requirements and needs.
  • Help the team triage accessibility regressions in Chrome, and participate in team discussions, technical design, and code reviews as needed.
  • Set clear expectations with individuals based on their level and role and aligned to the broader organization's goals. Meet regularly with individuals to discuss performance and development and provide feedback and coaching.
