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.

NotebookLM is a tool for understanding the information that matters most to you, and it lets you create things to help others understand.

Our next challenge is a fundamental shift: moving toward an ecosystem where AI agents are interconnected and can perform long-running, goal-seeking tasks.

As a Tech Lead Manager, you will guide the web application through the functional and experiential transformation.

You will help us balance the simplicity of our users love with the power of agentic workflows, expanding into mass consumer markets.
