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 software engineering manager on the Search AI Security Platforms team, you will be crucial in ensuring Search products remain leaders in the privacy space. You will deeply understand and care about the privacy and security of Search products, as well as corresponding behaviors in the consuming-facing product ecosystem.
In Google Search, we're reimagining what it means to search for information – any way and anywhere.

In joining the Search team, you'll have an opportunity to make an impact on billions of people globally.
