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.
In this role, you will work on low-level embedded software, new device bring-ups, and open-source technologies. You will scope the work to develop bootloader and embedded controller software for a wide range of ChromeOS devices and contribute to open-source coreboot and Zephyr Operating System (Zephyr OS) projects. Throughout the development process, you will enhance collaboration with external ODMs, OEMs, and chip/System on Chip (SoC) vendors.
