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.
Google’s Quantum AI team builds and runs algorithms on today’s world leading quantum computers. As these machines grow from research prototypes into products, the software that orchestrates and executes quantum computations will need to transition into a form that more closely resembles traditional software products.
In this role, you will manage and lead a team within Quantum AI. You will drive cross-team alignment on RPC standardization and prioritize and guide the direction of related sub-projects. You will work closely with the research, product, and software teams on the Quantum AI team.
Much of this work is greenfield, representing an opportunity for high impact.
Responsibilities
- Lead a team of building service infrastructure (discovery, auth, observability, and rollout), owning the goals and roadmap to influence broader engineering direction.
- Scope problems and recommend solutions for both short- and long-term needs, taking ownership of implementation or delegating to colleagues as required.
- Drive multi-quarter outcomes as a lead contributor, separately designing and implementing solutions that solve highly ambiguous technical tests.
- Maintain high-quality standards through code authorship and reviews, ensuring best practices in optimization while contributing to documentation and educational content.
- Seek design feedback to determine when to enhance or build new systems, collaborating closely with research, hardware, and electronic engineering teams.
