About the job Like Google's own ambitions, the work of a Software Engineer goes way beyond just Search.

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 are the people manager, organizational anchor, and execution leader for Edu Data Governance. You will partner closely with relevant UTLs and TLs to guide the team providing both the foundational infrastructure keeping Edu compliant today and the cross-product area platform execution needed for Google for Education 3.0.
