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 a Tech Lead Manager (TLM) in Trust and Safety, Technology and Innovation Engineering organization, you will build a high-performing team, products, and infrastructure from the ground up, turning a high-level goal into an operational reality.
Responsibilities
- Identify and propose new ways to leverage technology, automation, and AI to accelerate the trust and safety mission. Design and develop solutions to automate and enhance operations, enabling teams to scale their user protection impact efficiently.
- Lead critical technical initiatives for trust and safety, from requirements gathering to implementation and deployment. Define and own the technical roadmap for the team, translating goals into executable engineering workstreams.
- Guide the team in building scalable, reliable, and high-quality AI-powered solutions and infrastructure, empowering tech leads and ensuring best practices, including code quality, testing, and documentation.
