About the job

At Google, we put our users first. The world is always changing, so we need Product Managers who are continuously adapting and excited to work on products that affect millions of people every day.

In this role, you will work cross-functionally to guide products from conception to launch by connecting the technical and business worlds. You can break down complex problems into steps that drive product development.

One of the many reasons Google consistently brings innovative, world-changing products to market is because of the collaborative work we do in Product Management. Our team works closely with creative engineers, designers, marketers, etc. to help design and develop technologies that improve access to the world's information. We're responsible for guiding products throughout the execution cycle, focusing specifically on analyzing, positioning, packaging, promoting, and tailoring our solutions to our users.

The Geo Auto Data Platform team is responsible for building the data foundation and platforms that power Google’s in-vehicle automotive offerings. Our platform supports: enhanced, deeply integrated in-vehicle turn-by-turn navigation and next-gen visualizations powered by lane-level positioning. Map data services supporting advanced driver-assist systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving (AD) to make roads safer, drives more comfortable, and lower carbon emissions and autonomous driving (L2++ and beyond) capabilities.

In this role, you will have deep expertise with AD/ADAS features and with how map data supports such features. You will be ensuring our software, tooling, map data, and supporting services meet the rigorous safety, freshness, and accuracy standards required by AD/ADAS features.

The Geo team is focused on building the most accurate, comprehensive, and useful maps for our users, through products like Maps, Earth, Street View, Google Maps Platform, and more. Every month, more than a billion people rely on Maps services to explore the world and navigate their daily lives.

• Translate downstream ADAS/AD feature mechanics to baseline software and data quality requirements; educate and advocate use cases with upstream data teams.


• Manage the ADAS country tiering model. Prioritize, negotiate, and drive the expansion of key ADAS attributes into new regions and deeper road categories across internal teams.
