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.

Responsibilities

As the Tech Lead Manager (TLM) for the Infrastructure Engineering team, you will revolutionize the global network infrastructure. In this role, you will lead a software engineering team focused on automated traffic routing and maintenance systems, and will drive Google’s self‑driving network mission across a production environment. You will balance technical leadership with people management. You will define the strategy and roadmap for critical automated systems, developing next‑generation APIs, self‑driving network software, and resilient disaster‑recovery protocols.

The AI and Infrastructure team is redefining what’s possible. We empower Google customers with breakthrough capabilities and insights by delivering AI and Infrastructure at unparalleled scale, efficiency, reliability and velocity. Our customers include Googlers, Google Cloud customers, and billions of Google users worldwide.

• Lead a team of software engineers to design, build, deploy, and in some cases, operate the critical software systems that directly manage the global data center networking infrastructure.
• Cultivate a high‑performance culture of technical excellence, inspire engineers across wide initiatives, and directly manage a highly collaborative group of software engineers.
