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.
As an Engineering Manager and Technical Lead for the Agent Development Kit (ADK) team, you will lead a high-performing engineering team dedicated to accelerating the evolution and widespread adoption of our multi-language framework stack. This role requires a strong background in building highly scalable frameworks, clean API design, and cross-functional leadership skills.
In this role, you will define the technical roadmap and drive ambitious, projects to significantly improve the core capabilities, performance, and developer experience of our Go, Java, and Kotlin ADKs, making it seamless for the global developer ecosystem to build and scale production-grade AI agents.
