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.
The Google Photos mission is to bring users and content to Google Photos through reliable backup and onboarding experiences. You will focus on core backup infrastructure and customized integrations with internal and external partners.
You will identify partner needs and design solutions that align requirements with technical capabilities. You will determine infrastructure priorities and collaborate with partners to ensure Google is the trusted home for users' life content. To manage integrations, you will lead the core iOS backup experience, building features and expanding infrastructure. This involves evolving the platform for new use cases and improving reliability and performance by adopting modern iOS APIs.
Responsibilities
- Manage, support, and grow a high-performing team of engineers (Backend and iOS), leading the team with management excellence and shaping the team culture.
- Provide technical guidance and managing technical projects, inspire the team to innovate, design, and implement functionality that will improve the Photos iOS backup experience and meet Backup integrations requirements.
- Ensure smooth team processes including releases and planning, and enable smooth and efficient execution of the roadmap across teams and functions.
- Identify capability needs, and drive backup integration infrastructure, strategy, and roadmap (including collaborating with (Cross-functional) XFN partners, other teams and companies).
- Partner with senior Team Leads (TLs) to set the long-term technical strategy and engineering excellence goals for backup iOS and integrations infrastructure.
